So, we'll > have to wait yet a while, I guess. Just a note, I was able to get dual matrox working with this a matrox g200 PCI and a matrox g400 AGP. I needed to add specific entries for the amount of vidram on each card and turn off acceleration and hardware mouse on the g400, the g200 works ok will full accelleration. the G200 is my BIOS bootup card, also I need to start the X server and kill it, then restart it one more time to get the g400 to come up ok. At home I have a dual Matrox AGP and ATI PCI setup going with my ATI card as the BIOS bootup card, the ATI card won't work unless it's initialized by the BIOS, but the Matrox comes up fine. Pretty impressive, I just wish acceleration worked on the g400 at work as it's a super spiffy card, the g200 is super fast, and I'm guessing the g400 would be even faster. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
