Hi, I have no idea whether the Matrox G200 shipped with the box.
Any pointers on how to use Minicom to access the console on the serial port? I have a null modem cable right here but I haven't tried this before. If indeed the kernel is running, I should be able to connect via the serial port at any time after boot, is that correct?
