I haven't bothered keeping up with their new product much since going
to laptops (for obvious reasons) but the most of the late 90's early
00's Matrox Millenium and Mystiques were sold as either win and mac
but you could flash them either way (the Mystiques been to the dark
side and back several times)
you may have to google pretty hard to find the bios flash or lurk in
some vintage mac forums - unfortunately the mac that I had that app
on has been dead a fair few years now.
they seem to work fine under OSX on a standard install and nothing
looks different with 10.2 but they are not 3D cards so they don't
support Quartz so no drop shadows, transparencies etc that you get
on the OSX 10.3 interface - so it looks like running OSX on a g3
powerbook
rather than buying a dual head monitor card if he has a free PCI
slot then find an old Matrox Millenium or Mystique card which were
a dime a dozen a few years back
What's the story with OS X drivers for these cards?
There's no obvious mention on the Matrox site - will most Millennium
/ Mystique cards work "out of the box" or is there some evil beta
driver required?
Cheers, Anton.
