Bug#637739: O: mga-vid -- Kernel driver for the back-end scaler on Matrox cards (source)
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the mga-vid package.
The computer with a matrox card died a while ago, so I have no way to
test it.
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 udev so that
the module gets loaded automatically on demand and so that the device
node will be created with proper permissions.
Description: Kernel driver for the back-end scaler on Matrox cards (source)

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
