Do you have *actual evidence* of this? Are you a Matrox employee? Do you have
an email from one? Do you know the "microcode" format and can you explain how
to easily edit the hex to make the microcode do different things?
If any of the above, please provide your evidence. If the microcode was
wriiten in hex, hex is the sorurce code and we can include it.
Otherwise, I contend that you are just making this up and Matrox actually has
source code which it is withholding. Replies to debian-kernel please.
