[plug] Matrox G200 Video Cards

[Michael Hunt]

Ok so I think I may have found my answer (and also a useful link for
others). According to http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html the following
Matrox cards are supported in the current xfree version SVGA server.  Looks
like the G200 cards are supported also. (To what extent I have yet to find
out).

Matrox Marvel II  .......................................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium 2/4/8MB  ..............................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium (MGA)  ................................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium G200 4/8/16MB  ........................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium G200 SD 4/8/16MB  .....................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium II 4/8/16MB  ..........................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Millennium II AGP  ...............................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Mystique  ........................................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Mystique G200 4/8/16MB  ..........................  XF86_SVGA
Matrox Productiva G100 4/8MB  ...........................  XF86_SVGA

So I'll splash out on the Matrox Millennium G200 and keep you posted. (Seems
that there were a few post from people with the card).

On another point does anyone know why the xfree project bundle a lot of card
support in SVG server. If you look at the S3V which gives support for the S$
GX and DX cards you get some conflicting stories about the best support
being in the SVGA server, but the new development is going on in the S3V
server but that is going to be discontinued. I wish that would make there
minds up sometimes !!!!
