 |
|
Anyone out there who know some 3rd party drivers or know how to do to make dual-head enabled on a matrox g450?
have been at matrox homepage and read that their driver 4 linux does not enable TVOUT! 
Have read XFree HOWTO and made some tweaking by myself but without any succes. 
Anyone who know how to do?! 
Please answer if you have any clue!  |

its a while ago i had a g400, so don't remember so good, for X11 you need the MGA HAL library, if it works at all...
I did hear good things from the G400 FB drivers, that work find with tv-out, but they are a little tricky to set up, and don't have the best X11 performance ... on the other way some programms like mplayer can use direkt directfb directly .... |

i've got an intel i830 chip in my notebook and afaik the linux drivers also do not support tv out at all - not even xv as i can see.
anybody knows if there is a fix for that?

They say that there is a other chip on the g450 than it is on the g400 and thats why tvout doesn't works under linux.... but why they dont fix it i dont know... =(
have tried to patch the kernel with some homemade FB drivers but how to use FB i dont know! Anyone who could tell me?!

I have a G400-MAX and it works very well with the drivers from Matrox:http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/lnx_200.cfm, I setup DualHead Clone, duplicate X11 desktop; Desktop extended on both monitors, custom resolution/refresh, I haven't tried TV-out myself, but it surely works.
Also I have a fully working 3D setup with DRI, AGP 4x ... 
As for TV-out on G450, they say on the release notes for powerdesk for linux that is not supported  .
You can try post on these forums: http://forums.matroxusers.com and http://forum.matrox.com/cgi-bin/mgaforum/Ultimate.cgi.
Good luck ! |
