[Bug 58721] Re: Edgy upgrade breaks multiple Matrox cards

[cyber_rigger]

I tried the mga driver posted above by Paulo J. S. Silva.
with a g400 agp.
i.e.
http://www.ime.usp.br/~pjssilva/xserver-xorg-video-mga_1.4.2.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb

The installation worked, the 2D display worked
but I would get a total machine lockup when I tried to display 3D
animations from either gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver.
I gave up at this point.

Fred:
I stiil haven't tried the matroxfb_base approach.
Are there some step by step instructions (for the compiling impaired people like me)?

Without matroxfb using a framebuffer just prevents X from starting.
