Hi,
So I finally got my hands on a spare PCI video card so I can do dual
monitors on my Gentoo system. Well I got it working, kind of. It's
running at some incredibly low resolution (320 x 200) despite the fact
that I've specified in the xorg.conf plenty of other resolutions. I
didn't know what driver to put in the config file so I just used the
"vga" driver. lspci gave me that the card is the Matrox "MGA 2164W
[Millennium II]", but I don't know what to do with this information when
it comes to what driver to specify in the config file. Any
pointers/advice would be appreciated!
