RE: [TCLUG:3569] Matrox Mystique G200 AGP and X



I upgraded to XFree 3.3.3 for my Matrox G200 AGP.  I could only get 256
colors in X.

I went back to  using the 4Meg S3 Virge card.  Works way better than the
matrox did... at least for me.

Oh, by the way Tom, I figured out what to do about the blinking.  The card
wasn't _totally_ in the bus slot.  It was almost totally in.  I't in nicha
nd snug now, no blinks!!!
