(In reply to Max Staudt from comment #11) > As a former Matrox user myself, I would be very glad to see these cards supported with KMS. As noted in bug 1175754 , Debian current and next have found a way support at least one older (non-200) Matrox card's ability to use widescreen displays' modes using the mga X driver, regardless whether nomodeset is included on kernel cmdline or not.
