GPL and G400

The question has probably been popped before, but I have
worked my but of, trying to get the Matrox G400 to work
with GPL. No luck yet. I have tried the OpenGL Beta 2
but that really messes up the graphics, and crashes when
initializing the race.
Is there anybody out there who has got it to work ??
Or with a solution. I really miss this game. And driving
it in software mode sucks, in these hardware accelerated days.

Ditto G200.  Tried various solutions but the closest I've
got is a hardware-accelerated view of the pitlane, while
I'm still at the options screen.  16fps in software is
playable, *but*...

Anyone?

(If answers could be duplicated to email I'd appreciate it,
as I don't always have time to scan this ng.)

Got my G400 this Saturday, and I get the same messy graphics.
Found a patch for G200 on Matrox' home page which I haven't tried
yet, maybe it will work?

I actually enjoyed software rendering on my 32" widescreen TV.
Accelrated would be better of course.
