Hi,
I beliewe (not sure) that with latest kernel release, you don't have to 
make the "mknod /dev/maga c 178 0". It was the cause of the problem for 
me (kernel 2.4.8 from mdk).
I can use mga_vid module by just compiling it and doing insmod mga_vid.o

Other information: For me it works only on the AGP card, not on the G200 
PCI (whereas Xv works). What kind of card do you have? If its a 
dual-head, do the problem occurs on both head?

Regards,
