The following process works (after a very long build process) to get
xfree86 4.0.99.1 debs. They seem to work (I'm running with
xserver-xfree86 and xserver-common from these now) but I make absolutely
no claims as to quality. I did all of this as root, which is naughty but
it worked.

As anyone following the "BYOX" thread will be aware, I've just
successfully built xserver debs for XFree 4.0.99.1. I had two reasons
for wanting to do this: firstly I wanted G450 support without having to

Why can't you just use 4.0.2 with the drivers which are available at
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_05.cfm. I'm afraid
the closest I have is a G400 running with 4.0.2, but as far as I understand
from the aforementioned web page, your G450 should just work in 4.0.2 with
those

Excellent answer, and much appreciated. However, I think I'm ignorant or
stupid or something... after running that command, what is
