For the matrox, you probably don't want to use it: you'll lose your
acceleration for no real gain.  It's very useful for certain unsupported
video cards that are VESA2 compliant: they can use a the VESA
framebuffer and get X running without resorting to atrocities like
640x480x16.

It looks like, well, X.
