I've actually had very good luck with it in the past. it tends to generate a working (if basic) configuration pretty reliably. (done on a S3Trio and also a Matrox Mystique/S3Savage dual-head). > You can try my config file if you like: > http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hick0088/files/XF86Config-4 thanks. I'll give it a whirl. could it be that the G450 just isn't supported by X very well yet? have to try a CVS snapshot, and see if that's better. it didn't seem to work well with X3.3.6, either; but I didn't test that very extensively. I ought to try it with 3.3.6 VGA mode, and see if i can get *some* sort of video output. otherwise I'll suspect it as broken. :( Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700
