24 No wiki pages for Matrox G200 (a.k.a. mga) AFAIK. Maybe you could write one :)
25
26 You may want to have these kernel configuration
27
28 * CONFIG_AGP (if that video card is APG)
29 * CONFIG_DRM
30 * CONFIG_DRM_MGA
31
32 which could be found in menuconfig
33
34 Device Drivers --->
35 Graphices support --->
36 <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
37 <*> Direct Rendering Graphices (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
38 <*> Matrox g200/g400
39
40 and put 'VIDEO_CARDS="mga"' in make.conf which will automatically emerge
41 x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga when you do next emerge x11-base/xorg-drivers.
