GPL and Matrox G400

5 posts by 3 people · 01 Jan 2000 - 03 Jan 2000

Has anyone managed to get GPL working with a Matrox G400 card? I've tried the unified drivers and the latest drivers, I've tried both OpenGL patches and I've tried software and OpenGL mode but in all cases it refuses to initialise. HELP!! I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Tim H

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Sorry, best solution is to get a Voodoo 2 in addition to your G400. I myself have a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI and "upgraded" to a G400 when I bought myself a new computer. End result: pulled out the Voodoo 3 from the old box and never uses the G400. -- [asbjxrn] [lLd25z*%ds1-100/sLlSdI%ds2-O/sSl1l2*PlL0<l]sl 21172310731916131628237117 3237142523312SSSLllxq
The trouble is, Matrox says you can't use another 3D card with a G400. Tim

I would think that the G400 wouldn't even need to know that the V2 existed. Maybe they were thinking of another D3D or OpenGL card? Since I don't have a V2 myself I can't say for certain that it will work. I would be surprised if it didn't though. -- [asbjxrn] [lLd25z*%ds1-100/sLlSdI%ds2-O/sSl1l2*PlL0<l]sl 21172310731916131628237117 3237142523312SSSLllxq
Hi Go to [link lost in import: /***] forum link on the right. Then make a search on V2 with G400 or something... I remember a post about a month ago on a solution. Cya
