This is the setup I run, to get basic support for your card use the MGA
driver (see http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status17.html#17 and
http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/mga.4.html)


but if you want to actually use dual head support there is a beta driver
out (for linux, but it runs fine under emulation) it is available here:
ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2000/beta_1_00_03/



You'll need to edit the XF86Config file by hand, between the docs on the
xfree86 site and the file included with linux driver you should be 
fine.

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>I am a newnewbie, and a have some
dificults with computers (but some day I will not...), so easy on me
please!

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>I need help with X:

</fontfamily>  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>I downloaded and installed xfree86-4.0.1.
When a run xf86config, in the graphics seccion, the program told me to
not worry about if my graphics card were not in the list. OK, my Matrox
G400 MAX Dual Head 32Mb is not in the list. During the rest of
configuration, I had the filling that it won't work, because the
configuration didn't ask me for the resolutions (as did in my second
machine with matrox millenium II 4Mb).

After this configuration, I run startx, but there was no "windows". There
was some messages, and the 2 last ones were:

(EE) VGA(0): Given depth (16) is not suported by this driver

(EE)Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

</fontfamily>  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>So what can I do?

</fontfamily>  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>Thank's very much...
