The Matrox G450 is supported in XFree86 4.1.0 using the 'mga' driver and newer
(the current release is 4.3.0, and 4.4.0 pre-release is available).

[NUKE THEM]

Matrox has a driver on it's homepage. It should work with every XFree86 4.x.

Since Mandrake 7.0 is using XFree 3.3.6 you should consider downloading a 
newer Mandrake.
...Or use the 3.3.6 SVGA driver. It has all options for 2D but no 3D.

Hope this helps.

Patrick
