Had the same problems before, so I asked the same question in here (you
should have found that in the archives). Short answer: compile with the
hallib driver from Matrox, look for it on their website. They have a users
forum too, in which this question has been answered before too. Look for
it, it's really a great help with some of the issues you _will_ encounter,
trust me ;-)
