Hallo xorg Team, thanks for Your hints so far, but the problem still remains.
@ Dennis I managed to compile the source package http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-mga/xserver-xorg-video-mga_2.0.0.orig.tar.gz It was necessary to replace xserver-xorg by xserver-xorg-de http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-dev_1.20.4-1_i386.deb @ Adam attached is the latest logfile which was created when gdb invoked Xorg from a remote machine. The mga driver compiled on my own has been used. @ Felix I tried to use the tool ubiosdos.exe in Your zip file. Maybe the drivers are newer: For example -r-xr-xr-x 1 32768 Jul 23 1999 897-15.bin (on the CDROM shipped with my card) -rw-rw-rw- 1 32768 Nov 21 2000 897-21.bin (in Your zip-File) But using ubiosdos.exe, I got the error message "Bad Command or Filename". First I thought this was due to another directory name than c:\matrox\util. But renaming did not change anything. Remarkably, the tools makedisk (for creating a vga bios recovery disk) and pcispy for diagnosis of the card do work. For example the latter provides adresses that might be useful to flash the bios of the video card using linux commands cat or dd Adresse Size FrameBufferAperture dc000000 02000000 ControlAperatureBase dfefc000 00004000 DMA Base df000000 00800000 ROM Base dfee0000 Thee is a second site that offers software for updating the vga bios http://www.opendrivers.com/download/driver-34715.html But I suppose the newer drivers are for newer Matrox video cards. And the executable file needs Windows instead of DOS which is not installed on my PC. The sources code of mga contains a file mga_bios.c that covers how to access the BIOS of the card. I hope that a solution can be found. Markus
