Yeah, I bought Matrox. Also was impressed by their website and thought that they had support for Linux. In practice it is only half as good as it seems to be. i.e. My G450 does not have tvout support in Linux. You only can find that out after surfing for hours on the internet, because they do not teel you that on the website!
So Matrox sucks. It doesn work in windows at my pc. Well I hardly use windows so no problem, but support in Linux could be much better.
