I've recently installed one of the two
major source-based linux distros on a couple of my network's
boxes and have employed Matrox G550s on both machines. When I did
the installations, I configured XFree86 to include the mga
display driver. I configured via xf86config and everything seemed fine
but exiting out of my window manager I get messages indicating that the mga
module can't be located. A little checking revealed both that the driver wasn't
included with the source code downloaded for XFree86 after all and that
further attempts to get it through the distro's resources would come to naught.
Drivers available from Matrox for this card won't compile since none were
designed for the current version of XFree86. I would dearly love to have a card
specific driver for these boxes and am at sea regard the proper course to
follow. Is source code for an mga driver that will work with the current version
of XFree86 available? If so, where do I go to get it?
