Re: A serious X problem after Testing upgrade

Hi All,

once upon a time, I had a Matrox card & Matrox had binary closed source 
drivers for it.

Check out the Matrox site. Heck, even the Perihelia (sp?) has Tux drivers.

That makes Nvidia & Matrox one up on ATI.... *mutter-mutter*

If anyone is here from ATI, please blush now   ;-)

Sigh, I have an ATI card   :-(
