Syntax:

io-display [-vf]
           -d vid=[0x]vendor_id,did=[0x]device_id[,deviceindex=index]
           [-c config_file] [-p priority]

Options:

For the io-display options that you can use with this driver, see io-display.

Description:

The devg-matroxg.so driver provides accelerated 2D support for the specified graphics chipsets.

Graphics drivers run at a higher priority than applications, but they shouldn't run at a higher priority than the audio, or else breaks in the audio occur. You can use the on command to adjust the priorities of the audio and graphics drivers.

Supported chipsets

Millennium G550 (dual-head output supported on dual-headed cards)
Millennium G450 (dual-head output supported on dual-headed cards)
Millennium G400 (single-output only)
