Hi,

I have this video card (Matrox G450 dual head 32 Mo), these 2 mods are not listed in the documentation, is there a chance the G450 can run one of these mode on ubuntu hardy ?

I saw the maximum resolution are good, but this card has been released before the 16/10 screens exist, so I was not sure that it can handle this specific resolution. But from information I found in another forum, it seems it can. (but modifying xorg.conf may be necessary)
