Hi-

I've been struggling to get my g200 to work in hardware MJPEG mode for
several weeks. What experiences have people had getting this to work? I
get jumpy video (it jumps horizontally), but the picture is clear. It
also seem to be only around 5 fps.

How did people install the drivers (v4l & matrox)? I did a clean RH 8
install, then got the mga drivers (not powerdesk), and downloaded the v4l
drivers from the net. Is this all I need to do?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

Nevermind--I did a fresh install again and it works. I think that my
drivers weren't in the proper xwindows directory and weren't being loaded.

Things work perfectly now. Now I'm disappointed that I have so much CPU
sitting idle (1.8GHz P4--myth only uses ~30% when watching liveTV).
