Description: Kernel driver for the back-end scaler on Matrox cards (source)
The mga_vid module will enable you to use the back-end scaler found on
many Matrox cards. If you own a Matrox card, and use your Debian system
to watch movies with 'mplayer', which you'll find at http://mplayerhq.hu ,
you definitely want this piece of software, as it is the best video
output driver available.
.
This package just contain the sources needed to build the kernel module.
To actually use it, you'll have to compile it to match your installed
kernel. Refer to /usr/share/doc/mga-vid-source/README.Debian for
information on how to do this.
