Yep, i have the same setup. > Anyway, here's my setup: > > Debian v2.2 (potato), but with the XFree86 4.1.0 binaries installed from > people.debian.org/~cpbotha/. I'm running a self-compiled kernel version > 2.4.7. I think the version of X is your problem. The modules from the Matrox site seem to be specific to the various point releases of X 4. Last time I looked, they only supported 4.03 (the version currently in testing). Try downgrading to the testing version and see if that works (yeah, a pain, but you do want to see those screensavers in all their gl glory, don't you?). > Still the problem persists.

The version of X4 in testing works fine for me. I suspect that I might have to put it on Hold for when 4.10 creeps into testing unless Matrox get their arses into gear and release new drivers.
