Default How can I tell if one port on my matrox g400 has failed?

Hello,
I am trying to get a second monitor working, but I have a feeling the
problem may be with the g400 itself. One port on the g400 works but the
other seems dead. Is there any way to test if a port has failed?

I am running RedHat 9. The problem _could_ be in my XF86config.

Thanks
Zak

Swap the hard disk and boot onto a Windows installation with the proper
Matrox drivers...

Ender,
Matrox provides open source drivers for linux

I also have a matrox G450 and on boot up, both monitors display the
boot (bios POST... ) messages. Can anyone confirm that this happens on
a matrox G400?

Thanks
Z
