Sure. They even work in dual head mode. The thing that doesn't work is configuring the second head as TV-Out. Folks, I can only suggest one thing: Flood Matrox with emails. Ask them how to configure the 450/550 for using TV-Out on the second head under Linux (don't mention FreeBSD, it will confuse them, I think :-)). If you want, tell them, they will lose a customer. (They probably will give a shit on that). The problem is, I didn't find an alternative to use: I tried it with the Linux binary for N*idia cards; it is crap IMHO since it merges the two heads to one big screen (correct me, if I am wrong). What I want is :0.0 for my primary screen and :0.1 for TV-Out. Don't know about ATI cards. If someone is interested in my Xserver config for the G400 using TV-out, tell me (it is pretty straight forward, nothing special in it). -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
