Hi everybody,

I just bought a new Pentium 200 PC and I successfully installed Linux.
I have got a Matrox Millenium graphic card but my Linux does not
recognize it. I am looking for a driver but as a newbie I do not know
where I can find a driver for it.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Roland

Look for v3.2 of XFree86. It includes support for the Matrox Cards
and from what I hear from a friend of mine who has one, the support is
pretty decent.

Better yet, look for 3.2A. XFree86 3.2 implemented almost no acceleration
on the Millennium (just two or three functions, I believe, and those not
very well). The 3.2A release implements substantial acceleration, for a
~10-20x speedup relative to the 3.2 server, according to xbench.

I have the Red Hat version of Linux and it comes with the Metro-X server that
works great with this card. I cost about $50 dollars from Red Hat but the
ease of installation is worth it!

Good Luck.

You can also try the December 1996 InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource
... it costs $25-30 and comes with the Metro-X server which works great
with the Millennium.

: Hi everybody,

I got a Gateway Pentium 200 MMX but the card is a Matrox MGA, not a
millenium. I ran SuperProbe and it said that the chipset was Oak OTI-087.
So one question is "Is it really a millenium"?

: I am looking for a driver but as a newbie I do not know
: where I can find a driver for it.

The drivers for the Matrox card is in the SVGA server (if I have my
terminology right). The 3.2 and 3.2A (beta) versions of XFREE86 support
the millenium. The latest version of redhat, 4.1, contains version 3.2 of
XFree86.

Hi,
The latest version of XFree86 3.2 supports Matrox MGA2064 chip set.
Good Luck!

Thanks,
Edmond
