Currently I am using 1280x768 and 1024x768 which is working

----[ command 'xvidtune -display :0.0' ]--------------------------------
Vendor: (null), Model: (null)
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1

I have now:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating system(s) supported:	Windows 2000, Windows XP,
				Windows Server 2003
Version name:			BIOS - 2.58.002
Release date:			Jun. 6, 2006
File name:			setup_g258_2.exe
File size:			1.7 MB
Matrox products supported:	G450, G450 Low-profile, G450 PCI,
				G450x2 MMS, G450x4 MMS, G550,
				G550 Dual DVI, G550 Low-profile PCI,
				G550 LP PCIe, G550 PCIe
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is now:  "How can I install this crap on a Linux system?"

I have no Winblows and I am not willing to buy a useless Windows-License
to install a graphic card BIOS.  The  last  Windows™  ("NT® 4.0 Server"
and WfW® 3.11) I used was in March 1999.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
