Matrox G450 Dual Head

Hi,



I've just purchased a used Matrox G450 PCI card. I've installed the
hardware, but Ubuntu 5.10 could not startup with it. I've reinstalled
Ubuntu 5.10, but my LCD screen remains black. The card is correctly
working under Windows XP.



My system is a Shuttle ST62K (Zen) with onboard ATI 9100IGP and a
Samsung SyncMaster 173P LCD display connected via the DVI connection.



I suppose that during installation Ubuntu recognize and install the ATI
drivers ignoring the PCI Matrox card or some other conflict occours.



Can you tell me what can I do to use this graphics card on Ubuntu?
Please try to explain considering that I'm still newbie with Linux
settings.



Thank you,

Andras
