[Anthrogue <anthrogue@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello... I've been avidly trying to apply solutions in this thread - so
far to no avail.

New to Linux and have Mint 7 [which I think is based on ubuntu
jaunty]... so I thought all this might work.

I have the following PPA's in my Synaptic repositories

http://ppa.launchpad.net/andy-ub1/ppa/ubuntu/
http://ppa.launchpad.net/bryceharrington/ppa/ubuntu/

They're successfully integrated into Synaptic - and I think the relevant
packages are downloaded/installed.  But I don't know where else to look
to make sure this is the case.  At least Synaptic Package Manager says
they are installed, i.e. xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.4.9dfsg-
3ubuntu1~bug292214

I also tweaked my xorg.conf file to mirror somebody else in this thread
who reported success (attached).

Again, I'm new to Linux.  After an XP crash on an MS Update, I'm very
keen to get Linux working in order to run XP as a virtual machnine.  But
right off the bat I can't get my Matrox G450 to work.   The "Display"
thing in the Control Center doesn't do anything (at least no indication
of dual head functionality).

This experience has forced me to learn a lot... and yet, I'm obviously
missing something.  I really want it to pay off, so any advice/help
vastly appreciated.
