This is very commendable indeed. I liked the quote given below. Matrox is a strong supporter of Linux with a dedicated team devoted to further enhancing its compatibility and feature support. Matrox released specifications for its various Millennium graphics cards in 1997, 1998, and 1999 and became the first graphics card company to support single-slot dual-display cards on the Linux operating system in 2000 I remember when I first got into Linux in 1997 Matrox were despised by the Linux community for not releasing the specs for the Millennium I card. It took months of campaigning and boycotting Matrox before they gave in and we finally got suitable drivers. I had to run my Millennium I at 640x480 16 colour for quite a while. It's quite a turnaround really. Anyway, my point is, if the Matrox of 1997 could be persuaded to open source the Linux driver then the Nvidia of 2001 could also be persuaded given enough of a push from the Linux community. Sean.

I may just concider getting a Matrox card now...I think this negates nVidia's bullshit excuses for not open sourcing their drivers...since Matrox has and even provided a utility for configuring X in every mode...even duel head an T.V. tuners. This is damn cool. http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-05-31-012-20-PR-HW-SW -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
