Hi,

Quoting matrox's press release about the just released linux driver:

http://matrox.com/mga/media_center/press_rel/2002/linux_matrox.cfm

" Matrox continues to support the Linux community and is proud to release an
open source driver for its flagship product Parhelia, providing a
modularized driver to satisfy the varied requirements of the Linux
community. Matrox's hybrid approach offers an open source module for basic
single screen 2D support, and a closed source module offering extended
support. "

I've downloaded the driver tarball (the only downloadable file from their
linux driver dload section) - it contains binary only DRI(?) modeles for 
XF 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, and the source code for the kernel driver only.
Where is the 'open source module for basic single screen 2D support' then?

Maybe i'm just dump, they are liar, or they commited the sources to the
XFree CVS directly or what?

Sorry for this posting, i poested it to matrox.com first, but as usual - no
replies. Afair the ppl working on the driver are subscribed here - maybe
they'll answer and clean the things up.

Also note, that even the binary driver seems to lack Xvideo support, it's
very very bad news for us, video player developers. :(
