      best supported card because Matrox did a nice job with providing hardware documentation to developers.
      Now why, for god's sake, did they not do the same with the Parhelia? Then at least we'd probably have a 3d driver by now!

      Wah! Wah!

      In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

          Because they hate their users

              Sure seems that way doesn't it? Actually I was just thinking that it'd be nice to have all the features of the windows Drivers in linux, except they can keep the banding. :-)

                  There's this post on the Matrox tech supp forum that I love.

                  It's Prez asking about new drivers, and so someone said

                  "Let me save Ben the time of answering that for you with "Call sales"

                  Then let me save sales the trouble by saying "We can't comment on that""

                  YET
                  Matrox made this big press release about how they are working on fully supporting Linux and working on a workstation class driver.

                  That was....a *few* months ago.

                  I think that the mass exodus of engineers from the company decimated their Linux driver development, and that we're lucky to see anything from them ever again. Be it a driver, card, or anything. (coke, fries, burger?)
                  I am the 1 and the 0, the bit and the byte.
                  No computer is unbendable to my will, as hacking is not so much skill as psychology. Much like the lawmaker and the money that drives him to do as anyone would wish with it.

                      I'll have some fries and a burger, but that carbonated soda is murder on me

                      All joking aside, yeah, I saw that post. Pretty entertaining. I think I'm going to email sales myself and see if I can persuade them to try to get some linux drivers out at least for the professional side of things.... I'll post their reply here if I get any.... (fingers crossed)
