The TVP3026 RAMdac on the Matrox Millenium 1 supports sync-on-green, and code to support it has been in the driver for many years. There was a time when sync-on-green was broken in the mga driver, for some cards (I don't remember which) so it might be worth trying a different version if the first one fails. I can't find the manual which came with my card to confirm that Matrox supported sync-on-green on the Millennium, and I've never connected mine up to a sync-on-green monitor to confirm it, but IIRC I got a mono signal on a TV by connecting the green output directly to the composite-video in on a SCART socket, and enabling sync-on-green. -- Dr. Andrew C.

[XFree86] Matrox Millenium and SyncOnGreen
Appologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this... I can't seem to find a suitable newsgroup... I am trying to get a Matrox Millenium 1 card to put into an old PC so I can power an old fixed frequency monitor. I have a 3-BNC cable that I can use but which requires SyncOnGreen. The 4.2.0 mga man page[1] suggests that SyncOnGreen will work but Matrox's documentation for the Millenium states that it is a separate sync only card. Actually, all the supported Matrox cards seem to be separate sync only according to Matrox. Perhaps it's a driver thing... So does anyone know if a Matrox Millenium 1 under XFree86 4.2.0 (or any version) supports SyncOnGreen? The monitor is a HP A2094B which is 21 and runs at 1280x1024, 72hz vert freq, 78khz horiz freq, SyncOnGreen or Separate Sync. It has 5 BNC connectors so I can buy one of those cables and do separate sync but I already have a 3-BNC cable so I'd like to do SyncOnGreen if possible.
