I have a Sceptre X20G-Naga II connected to my matrox adaptor.  If I bring it
up attached to the DVI port (DVI->DVI), console works (VGA is handled
differently by the card, I assume), but I get a black screen from X.

Connecting the monitor up VGA->VGA works as expected.

Hi,

I just uploaded xserver-xorg-video-mga 1.9.99.dfsg.1-1 to experimental.
It brings RandR 1.2 support, which improves mode detection and dynamic
configuration. It should also support DVI. About RandR 1.2, note that
you might need to update your xorg.conf, see the pointers I inserted in
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/12835.html

Thanks,
Brice

i will try this and report back on my g550 non-dual dvi, if that'll help.

but first, does anybody know:

  o which versions of x (xorg in etch/lenny/sid) will it work with?
  o does one simply upgrade to that xorg, install this driver, and
change xorg.conf?  or is there more to do, like tweak xrandr, to get
it working?

very exciting.

thanks.

oops, my first question was unnecessary; "Now that David pushed X.org
7.3 to unstable" implies that we'll need to upgrade to unstable to get
the dvi to work.  my second question nevertheless applies, as it's
worth recording here whether other stuff needs to happen, like
installing xrandr or anything else.

upgrading from xfree 4.2 + proprietary blob to floss xorg will be nice.

thanks.

These bugs should be fixed in 1.9.100 that I just uploaded (with a typo
in the closers in the changelog...). It contains fixes for upstream
bugs #615, #12575 and #12598.
