Will there be a provision or support for the Matrox 450 Dual Head AGP
card? If Mandrake isn't going to include the driver (which is fine with
me) will they at least do something with the installer to detect the card
and advertise (like for the winmodems) that you may need to get a special
driver for the card from Matrox? I have a Matrox 450 card in my computer
and know several others who also have this cad.  I had the luck have
actually originally having a Voodoo3 card so I did the research first on
what things needed to change to support the Matrox card before it went
into my computer.

Migrating to 8.0 is going to be painful though if I can't boot my computer
properly right away but have to play around with it to get the file from
Matrox and install it.  It would be nice if the installer actually allowed
me to get the file during the install, but this may be asking too much.
THe problem with not supporting a video card though is far more serious
than not supporting winmodems.  And given what happens to my display right
now without support, it just isn't going to work for a lot of users.
