Yesterday while upgrading XFree86-Server from ports I saw the following, which I can't recall seeing before:
>******************************************************** >Define WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER to include Matrox's extra >"HALLIB" binary driver >******************************************************** And indeed it then pulled down drivers from the Matrox site and I see mga_hal is loaded in the X log. Amazing! I had thought that these drivers were for Linux only. The question immediately arises, in what way is XFree86 better with these drivers (on a G400) than the normal open-source drivers? If it's only enabling TV out then on a bog-standard G400 I won't see any benefit I guess. And is there any way I can persuade mplayer to allow me to use xmga or mga for output? It seems to look for a /dev/mga_vid which isn't present on FreeBSD. jim hatfield To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
