[dundee] Matrox Millenium P690 Plus LP PCIe x16.possible driver problem

[Malcolm]

Well I didn't lurk for long.

The new card is fine with FF but the screen is offset by about a 1/3, as in I
can see the left hand 2/3rds but not the RH 1/3.

I've found what I think is the driver I need to install but don't know how to go
about it.  The link to it is:

ftp://privftp.matrox.com/private/driver_linux/2009/1.4.7/mtxdriver-installer-x86_64-cvs-20090511.run

but it requires registration to load it.

I think the pertinent bit will be:


!/bin/sh
# This script was generated using Makeself 2.1.1
CRCsum="3499591246"
MD5="9d1590d0268a2671a0b1bdf55d845d56"
TMPROOT=${TMPDIR:=/tmp}

label="Matrox Parhelia Driver"
script="./install.sh"
scriptargs=""
echo -n "Please, enter the directory to extract the files [$HOME/] "
read str_installdir
if [ "$str_installdir" = "." ] ; then
str_installdir=$PWD
fi
if [ "$str_installdir" = "./" ] ; then
str_installdir=$PWD
fi
if [ "$str_installdir" = "" ] ; then
targetdir=$HOME/matroxdriver-x86_64-cvs-20090511
echo ""
else
if test -d $str_installdir; then
targetdir=$str_installdir/matroxdriver-x86_64-cvs-20090511
else
mkdir -p $str_installdir || {
echo 'Cannot create target directory' $str_installdir >&2
eval /
exit 1
}
targetdir=$str_installdir/matroxdriver-x86_64-cvs-20090511

I can C&P more if needed but I thought I should try and keep this post short.

How do I load this?  It's probably safe to assume I need very simple
instructions.

TIA.
