I had a G400 before the G450, which I'm using for about two years now, and even with that I've never installed any binary-only module, just plain xfree86 (now xorg). > Regarding matrox, heres my experiences with graphics cards > on linux for audio use, posted half year ago: > http://lalists.stanford.edu/lau/2005/12/0476.html > Theres a typo there though: "Matrox 400+500" is supposed to > be "Matrox 450+550".

You can find similar > experiences on the net, you should search a bit. Well, YMMV. ;) If you search a bit, you will also find opposite experiences. For example, if you search the old Sound on Sound forum for "matrox" you will find threads like this: http://tinyurl.com/ffatc or this: http://tinyurl.com/qwatg (Windows users) I think, as you get them for about 10 Euro or less, trying a Matrox card is worth it.
