Re: Matrox Millenium II again
I think Xinside Accelerated X 4.1 supports the Matrox Series. I thikn it is
overall better than XFree86 since most of the drivers are optimized for the

check it out youreself www.xinside.com
The package doesn't come free though. It cost $100 but I think it is well
worth it.
