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.

This may eventually change in the near future (I read something about a millenium DDK). -- # /AS/ mailto:alex@darkstar.ping.at beware of the Penguin # # http://www.ping.at/members/alexa/ powered by Linux 2.0 # ------------------------------------------------------------------------
