Bug#406609: O: mga-vid
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi
After some communication with the current maintainer he agreed in
orphaning this package. If you want to adopt the package, please go
ahead but be aware of the fact that it takes time and skills to become
the maintainer.
Package: mga-vid-source
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.
Package: mga-vid-common
Description: Module aliases and test program for /dev/mga_vid
This package contains the program 'mga_vid_test', which has one mission
in life: to verify that the mga_vid driver works correctly.
.
It also contains some configuration files for devfs and modutils so that
the module gets loaded automatically on demand and so that the device
node will be created with proper permissions (if you're using devfs).
Cheers
Steffen
