Yes, well keep in mind the Matrox cards are VERY old by today's
standards. Their strong point is solid support (except the broken
linux 2.6 matroxfb -- has anyone fixed this yet?!??!?!) by the
software, which was a result of releasing full technical
documentation, and the actually-working TVout -- not the
latest-and-greatest scaler quality.
