That's rather unfortunate for me, > since the only other card I have is a Trident Blade 3D, which is totally > unsupported :-( 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
