I have a g450. I have been asking via the matrox forums and directly to 
their support, about either
adding some extra functionality to their code or at least releasing some 
info about the cards so it
can get done. Basically I get the standard reply, "...currently not 
supported. not likely to in the future...".
Maybe if we can approach them on mass via a petition or something, 
something may happen. The extra
features the cards are capable of would be very much appreciated by a 
lot of people I suspect.(better OpenGL
support, TV-out ..etc)

I am currently using their latest code and my experiences with the card 
are mixed. 2-d, dual-head, dvd are great....
but 3-d stuff leaves a lot to be desired. I have to disable or at best 
select low quality features just to get a stable
platform. If you go for the advanced OpenGLfeatures I regularly get hard 
lockups requiring a reboot :-(

Sorry I can't point you to some info on them, I don't think there is any 
out there yet. At least none that I could find.

btw. I get around 835 fps on a g450/32mb, 1Ghz PIII smp machine.

darryl
