Damm. I was just going to post to ask if I could run Linux on my system
with my 8MB Matrox card. What exactly is the deal with the drivers for a
Matrox card (this thread does not go back far enough on my news
sever..sorry)? I personal have always found Matrox to be a great company.
Email is answered by the next day and driver problems are addressed ASAP.
Also, being as I run OS/2 I am very happy with them because other their
continuing support of OS/2.
