Hi, |

first, please apologize, if this is not the correct list, but it seemed appropriate to me. |

Second keep me cc'ed, as I'm not subscribed. |

On topic: To use mplayer's xmga extension with my Matrox G400 I had to add the following |
7 |
lines in /etc/modules.d/aliases: |
8 |
|
9 |
alias char-major-178 mga_vid |
10 |
alias /dev/mga_vid char-major-178 |
11 |
|
12 |
Could someone with write permission on the CVS tree please add this? |
13 |
|
14 |
As my experience with devfs is minimal, maybe as alternative a change within dev-state |
15 |
would be more appropriate? |
16 |
|
17 |
As a side note the article about devfs notes /dev-state to be the directory for permission |
18 |
preservation. Actually on my system there is only a /lib/dev-state. Could somebody please |
19 |
correct the documentation accordingly? |
20 |
|
21 |
BTW, is it still necessary to download the mgadrivers from Matrox or are they already part |
22 |
of the XFree-4.2 source? I wondered, why there is no port for it. |
