Unfortunately that is the case. Older Matrox cards were wonderful in that the register layout changed very little between generations. Adding support for a new generation card usually meant only small changes. And almost complete specs are available from Athena to G400. Specs for G450/G550 aren't available but fortunately the cards are identical to G400 for the most parts. -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
