This is not a complete answer.  Just another data point.

That is the Hardware Abstraction Layer and is part of the matrox
driver from the matrox site.  I needed to install the matrox driver in
order to get that on my machine.

But a good friend with a very similar configuration did not need to
install that driver.  So I can't make any general statements about
when it is needed and when it is not needed.  Apparently it is not
always needed but sometimes it is needed.  I have no understanding of
when is which.

But it is not distributed as part of the linux kernel.  So if you need
it then you have to install the driver from matrox.
