My organization is planning on buying several G450 cards for our new FreeBSD desktop systems. While I have confirmed that the cards do work with XFree86 4.1, I am uncertain of the additional capability support available. Does anyone have a "cookbook" or other information on making this work? I've scanned through the archives and found some stuff on earlier versions of XFree86, but nothing for the current release. I've also scanned the Matrox and XFree86 Xperts list, but found nothing that clarifies things (although there is a fair amount of conflicting information). I have downloaded the beta driver code from Matrox and tried building it, but the module io.c calls some functions with which I am unfamiliar. iopl, inl and outl are unfamiliar to me, so I'm unsure what to do to get this code to compile. (Most other stuff seems to be pretty straight-forward stuff.) Has anyone gotten this to work? Also, I see many references to the mga.ko kernel module. Is that now obsolete? I don't have it in my /modules. In short, HELP! Thanks in advance, R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
