I ran into a broken AWE64 Gold with similar problem. I bent the pins back with a sewing needle.

Yes RR404 is a fake raid card, but there is still hope for recent linux to recognize the array on that card. Modern linux handles fake raid via dmraid which supports hpt374 and rr454.

Surprisingly the latest driver does not have any 3D support, so I decided to launch a test over different versions of G450 drivers and check their capability on D3D and OpenGL support. It turns out Matrox pulled off 3D support for G450 …
