    Dual Monitors on 11.2 with Matrox G450

    Hi All,

    I am trying to get a dual video card to work for 2x monitors from a SUSE 11.2 OS machine.
    The Matrox G450 card I have installed has 2x analog video outputs. I know they worked because I had them working on a M$ machine before removed.
    I have been to the Matrox wed site and they do list a driver, which I down loaded but could not install (I don't seem to be able to install it).
    I would like to get the 2x monitors to work and give me an extended working screen so I can have the main program running (Broadcast software) and the scheduling and programming on the other screen.
    I would prefer not to go out and buy another card as AGP video cards are becoming hard to get.

    I am using a IBM ThinkCentre PC, I am not using the onboard video port.

    Regards Kevin.

    Well this is just not going to work without the Matrox drivers. Matrox has extremely poor history with Linux driver. so good luck.

    So tell use why it will not install? error messages. procedure used to install etc
