I think there is hope for Matrox, which I hope will be my next video card. I say hope because I recall seeing a note that Matrox had provided access for the sources of the G200, which suggestes to me that we will eventually see a server, perhaps even for the Marvel, which personally I'd like to see(Hauppauge which is the card I have, has not been as open as as Matrox). Support those businesses that support Linux in a real way. Bob Joop Boonen wrote:
Dear Michael Andersen,
I only wanted to tell that the Matrox cards don't have an accelerated server. I don't know how the co-operation is between Matrox and XFree. But i myself don't think there will be chances that there will be a accelerated XFree86 server for the Matrox cards. By the way i know that the Matrox cards are very fast even under a SVGA XFree server. but the thing i'm worried about is. That whenever XFree will support 3 D. That Matrox won't be available with 3 D support under XFree, what do you think?
By the way i use both ATI Rage II cards, S3 virage and Matrox mystique cards. To be honest with the applications i use there isn't much of a difference. I'm also using the virtual PC program from www.vmware.com. It works both great under Mach acc en SVGA server with a mystique.
I hope i haven't offended people. I'm sorry if i did.
Regards,
Joop Boonen.
Can someone give me some information about firms that produce video chips and who are working closely together with XFree86? I mean basically there is no firm that ports applications to Linux. I've never seen any program of ATI for the TV function for the all in wonder cards or from Matrox for the Rainbow runner etc.

Dear Alex,
On this URL you can find information about performance of video cards: <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/"><A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/</A">http://www.tomshardware.com/</A</A>> , <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes"><A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes</A">http://www.anandtech.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=yes</A</A>>&TopicTypes=3 . and also this link <A HREF="http://www.cpureview.com/"><A HREF="http://www.cpureview.com/</A">http://www.cpureview.com/</A</A>> . There are files for the Voodoo chip in the suse distribution. I don't know what they do.
By the way there is not as of yet any accelerated xfree86 server for a matrox card.
What?!? I have used several different Matrox models (now using a Millenium G200). It's fast and I strongly believe they were always the very fastest with XFree86. So there.
