i have a matrox G450 that stopped working with the mga driver under
xorg 7.0.0, kernel v.2.6.15.6. i'm using the same kernel settings as
with 6.8.x, but when i startx, the screen goes blank and the monitor
light starts blinking, like in standby. i get two error messages about
drm and mga_hal, but i don't really care about 3D, i only need  it to
work for 2D. i added two options to xorg.conf, and that stops the
error messages, and the other options are basically the same as
before.

do i need to file a bug report, or has anyone else gotten the mga
drivers to work under 7.0? for now i'm stuck using the vesa drivers,
and it really sucks for video. the frames are dropping, it's using
100% cpu, and it's very choppy.

thanks for any help
