how to add mga_hal module to XFree 4.3 ?
On the www.matrox.com I found driver only for linux and XFree 4.21 and below.
Is this binary library (.../4.2.1/drivers/src/HALlib/mgaHALlib.a) from Matrox
good for XFree 4.3 under FreeBSD 4.8S ??

PS: I have G400.
agp and mga kernel modules loaded without problem.
I have only one problem:
(EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal" (module does not exist, 0)

Thanx for help.
