Hello, I just installed the mga kernel driver and mga_vid for my G400. Unfortunately I couldn't play anything. /dev/mga_vid was set to root:root with permissions 644 so there was not write access for users. Since I'm using SuSE Linux there's a group "video" which a user should belong to, so I did "chown root:video /dev/mga_vid" and "chmod 664 / dev/mga_vid" and now it works. To make a long story short, a user who wants to make use of /dev/mga_vid need write access to mga_vid, right? The HTML documentation hasn't mentioned this important detail. Regards Malte
