Re: RedHat 7.0 and Matrox G400 compatibility

[Tom Cooper <tom_cooper bigfoot com>]

http://hardware.redhat.com - search for Matrox and redhat7 in intel HW
     Model: G200 and G400 
     X Server: XF86_SVGA X Driver: matrox 


It looks like support is there for the card, but I don't know if the
dual-head feature will work properly.  I don't have _any_ experience
with Matrox cards under linux, nor with dual-head.

I checked on http://www.xfree86.org for the 4.01 release (included in
RH7) and it doesn't give much more data.

Based on my linux experience, I'd say that out of the box, I'm confident
that X will work, and the Matrox dual-head feature will probably work,
but DO NOT take this as authoritative.

If anyone has better information, please post it!

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tom Cooper
