To get my Millenium G200 AGP to work under R4 I had to edit the vgadb on
the installation disk to include the following line:

ctlr
0xC002D="MATROX/Matrox G400"
0xC002D="MATROX/Matrox G450"
0xC002D="MATROX/MGA-G200"       <----- this line added
link=vga
ctlr=mga4xx linear=1
hwgc=mga4xxhwgc

I used 1280x1024x8 as a display mode (it seems that the Matrox Driver cannot
handle more than 8 bits per pixel; hey, when is this going to change?).

After installation I had to copy the vgadb file manually over to the hard disk
from the installation floppy because the installed file didn't include my
modifications (seemed as if they copy over a fresh vgadb and not the one from
the floppy).

That was it for me, I hope it helps.


Regards,
Sascha
