Comment 23 for bug 58721

I tried Paulo's compile of xserver-xorg-video-mga-1.4.2 but it did not work for me. :-( All I get is a bunch of squares on the screen as if the driver were writing to video memory in the format for mode <X> but the card is reading its memory for display as if it were formatted for mode <Y>.

The machine is an Asus P2B-D with a Matrox G200 AGP, and the vesa driver with Edgy Eft is refusing to do more than a 60Hz refresh rate. For me this is significant because I have epilepsy and 60Hz literally makes me feel like I am about to have a seizure. :-P Quite disappointing after switching from Dapper where I had it in 1152x864 and 75Hz refresh.
