The README for the HAL download at Matrox's site in the support section under
Drivers explains the purpose of the HAL. It enables stuff like dual head
support on some Matrox cards that support it, but I don't remember which
since mine isn't dual head. It also lets you use the Matrox PowerDesk
application, which is a pretty sad excuse for an app and doesn't let you do
anything really useful you can't do with xvidtune.

But at least it is supported. ;)
