Well, I don't know about G550, but I have a G450, which I'm using with XOrg 7.4. I remember I had problems with the latest xf86-video-mga (couldn't achieve full resolution), but I solved with a single downgrade of this port to 1.4. Now it looks like it has been downgraded in the port tree too (unless I misinterpret http://www.freshports.org/x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga/). So you might want to try fiddling with this port only. Only woe is the speed: it looks like my graphics section is a lot slower since it was back in the XFree times; or, again, it was since the first XOrg versions... I really never dug into this. bye av.
