I have a G450 AGP Dual Head and installed X 4 > from teh ports collection under 4.3-RELEASE with no options (just make > install) and I get the following error after typing startx: You need to update your ports. The current release of XFree86, V4.1, is the first to support the G450 without extra software. Note the DRI is not supported in that release. I have used the XF86 4.1 successfully for a G450, although not in dual-head mode, but I've been told that it will work. (I'll find out when my new display arrives.) Matrox had a driver for the G450 on 4.0.3 on their web site, but I suspect installing 4.1 would be easier than installing that driver which was written for Linux and does not build cleanly on FreeBSD.
