I've received couple of reports on complete lock-ups
after starting gMGAclock. To fix this delete ~/.gmgaclockrc ~/.mgaclockrc
and ~/.gnome/gmgaclock. I'm not exactly sure what's causing this since I
haven't received accurate descriptions of these situations. Also, DO NOT run
gMGAclock at boot time! I suggest you add the gmgaclock command line to
~/.xinitrc.

Forgot to menition that the default config file was moved from ~/.mgaclockrc to ~/.gmgaclockrc. Also the RAM Optimization hasn't been implemented yet. I forgot to disable the window. That's what you get for rushing things. Please keep the bug reports coming in so I can have them fixed.

Version 0.4.8 released. This version includes some sort of a command line tool. Use -l/--load option to load and apply a file w/o a GUI. Don't run it at boot time because it still requires X and Xfree86 resets the settings on startup anyway. DCC's are now also calculated automatically when Apply is clicked (assuming auto dcc is on).

Ran some benchmarks to see how much can be gained with overclocking in linux. I let the results speak for themselves. I used Quake3 as the benchmarking tool with the default settings (640x480x16bit).

Version 0.4.7 had a nasty memory leak in clock settings so version 0.4.7a was released.

Version 0.4.7 released. New features include automatic duty cycle correction and miscellaneous controls. I suggest you consult the MGATweak documentation incase you need help with the settings.

Thanks to people who reminded me about the symbolic links in the package. Fixed in release 0.4.6a.

Version 0.4.6 released. The original mgaclock clocking code was horribly wrong! Rewrote the clocking code according to the Matrox specs and gMGAclock became far more stable. Also added autoloading of settings on startup etc. Check the NEWS file for more.

Status report: G200 support is on hold since I can't test it at the moment.
I'd be happy to get some feedback on what kind of features would be neat or
necessary so I can prioritize my tasklist.

Back from an amazing skitrip. Been receiving a lot of mail about the themes
I'm using so here they are: minEguE for enlite and minEgtk for GTK+ (both
available from http://www.themes.org).

Looking for someone to make a cool GNOME style icon/logo for gMGAclock.

Version 0.4.1 released. Recreated the GUI with proper packing so it won't
look like crap with some themes.

|
Version 0.4 released. Includes heaps of bugfixes and new features including
individual settings for GCLK/MCLK/WCLK and a new layout. Please report any

WARNING! Before
applying clock speeds higher than 250MHz make sure you choose a preset G400
Win98 or higher and then select Custom preset and set the clock. This way the
clock dividers are set properly. This will be fixed in the next version.
