ArcEye wrote: The cards I have used were both G550s.

One was AGP, the other PCI, both worked well and were less than £10 from ebay.

Hi ArcEye, today i orded one as PCI.
Must i install a driver, or is it "PnP"? If Install needed, can you tell me how?
Thanks for a reply.

The driver package is xserver-xorg-video-mga

The package firmware-linux-nonfree contains the firmware for the Matrox G550
( Matrox G400/G550 WARP engine microcode (matrox/g400_warp.fw) )

Just make sure both are installed, BIOS is set to use the external card, fit it and start up and it should be recognised.

OK - thank you, I hope they get to the weekend.

Hi ArcEye,
i hope the question is not to stupid, but can you tell me the way to install after the download?
I'm not the Linux Specialist, sorry...

You just install the packages using Synaptic or `apt-get install` on the command line, same as any other package.

If the hardware is recognised, the correct driver and firmware will be selected at boot time.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationOK,the Packages where installed, when i try to install.
The Latency was at aorund 50000. With the Old Nvidia was the Latency at around 30000.

The reason why I bought the Matrox that was my camera, to locate x0 + Y0, is always frozen after a few seconds. Now that's better, works perfectly. But the machine sounds strange when one proceeds manually. Like in this Post here

This where the card i bought...


The PC is a Intel P4 / 3Ghz / 2GB RAM / 80GB HDD


Did anyone know this issue?
