[SOLVED] Matrox Millenium odd resolutions Fedora 12

madsovenielsen · 03-31-2010, 05:14 AM

Hey all.

Im currently running Fedora 12 on a *old* Dimension 2400.

Its having onboard graphics. Intel 845GV, Fedora recognizes this fine and it even recognizes my monitor as well. But when i use my Matrox Millennium PCI card its totally blurred and i can only select odd resolutions. I suspect this is because the card is not detected, probably
i have no idea hot to fix this. theres no driver from Matrox, only for their newer cards. any help is greatly appriciated

use a different distro
the new xorg in fedora dose not have drivers for a bunch of things

give Debain a go

I dont think switching distro is a good solution.

then live with fedora's odd habits
i went for almost 30 days without a driver for my nvidia card when fedora decided to use the still BETA version of a new Xorg .
