> OpenSource ???
here's from the readme.txt:

"This driver is based on the open source development being done within the
XFree86 Project. The driver remains unmodified, with the exception of the
display adapter initialization, which has been replaced with a closed
source Matrox library. This special library enables features such as
DualHead, TV out, and support for digital flat panel monitors.

Due to certain legal liabilities and for the protection of intellectual
property, Matrox reserves licensing rights to the library and prohibits
reverse engineering but allows free distribution under any operating
system. Matrox encourages members of the open source community to freely
distribute and assist in the further development of this driver."

So basically it's a Opensource driver using a library that's closed for
certain functions. (They have source for the stuff that isn't a "legal
liability".
