	Re G450 tv out - spewing.... perhaps write them a well-worded email?
It cant be that hard for them......

	What do you mean by 'matrox driver driver source substituted'? Is
there a source patch for Xfree86?

	Isnt that the point of X's new module system?

	How do you differentiate between booting X into 3d or xinerama
modes? I know youd have to have seperate xconfig4 files (or whatever theyre
called :) but do you have to use startx? I like my little login screen :)

	Had a similar problem with a G450 and general use.. 
	Re-compiled X with the matrox driver source substituted and it went
away.

	Yup, works really well..

	Umm no.. You need to have 2 screen setups.. one for dual headd, and
one for 3d..
	bit of a pisser that..
	3D accel only works in singlehead mode.. but it does work..

	Be warned anyone looking to purchase a Matrox card for the TV out..
the TV out
	only works on the G400.. matrox have not seen fit to finish the
driver for the
	G450.. Am I pissed off.. Bought the card because it had
Dualhead/TvOut and was supported
	under linux.. the forgot to tell me the two were mutually exclusive
:p|
