Read all about Matrox support at: http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/~ajv/xf86-matrox.html as well as at: http://www.xfree86.org The current (binary only) alpha test Millenium driver is by all reports pretty good. > > I was thinking about the Mystique, but XFree support means a lot to me > (640x480 is horrible). TIA There is nothing on the Mystique yet, though evidently the people who would write it now actually have the Matrox MGA tech docs, so something will eventually appear. X-wise (ie: 2D) the Millenium is a better card anyway. ============================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchanan@sympatico.ca> Ottawa, ON
