it has only 8 mb, from bios it get max. 64 mb aperture - but maybe i mix 
something up here -

how can i do this ?
i guess a boot parameter ? any pointer's to read about ?

anyway:
a. the card has difficulties to show 1024x768 with max. colors. it could 
be that this aged part is a little bit weak.

b. i don't need any spec. features on this box, it's only for 
downloads/testing, etc.


i test the driver only cause there was a announce to do so and i think 
there are a few people out there which dealing with matrox cards.
i also gave my g550 away when fc4 or fc5 came up. (too much green/yellow 
screens at that time ...)

if i can do something more testing ..., therewith (?) things keep on 
going and ongoing.
