SuSE Linux: Version 3.2
XFree86: Versions since 4.4
Since november 1997, S.u.S.E. in cooperation with the XFree86 team provides a series of X servers. These support among others the graphics devices manufactured by Matrox. Further information is available in the following article of our support database :
Configuration of the S.u.S.E.-X-Server
Please also read the corresponding information on our WWW server (see http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html).
Support for the Matrox Millennium is available for cards with 2,4 and 8 MB of memory, in all color depths (up to and including 32 bit), for all RAMDACs (i.e. for the 170MHz RAMDAC of the OEM version as well as the 220 MHz RAMDAC version) and for resolutions up to 1600x1200.
This functionality is contained in the SVGA server (package xsvga, series x in YaST).
Starting with XFree86 ver. 3.2A (beta), which corresponds to S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4.1, this X server is one of the fastes X servers at all (1 million XStones).
The new Matrox Millennium II is not supported by version 3.3 . However support is available since XFree86-3.3.1. This server is available via FTP as a RPM from ftp://ftp.suse.com/suse_update/xf86_331/rpm/xsvga.rpm or from ftp://ftp.suse.com/suse_update/xf86_331/tgz/xsvga.tgz in the TGZ format. Please note that it must still considered to be "experimental".
