I very much don't recommend using Matrox Pxxx for Linux usage as it is totally unsupported by RHEL3 and XFree86. The last Matrox card supported by open source drivers is the G550, and the driver is more or less abandoned upstream nowadays. Your entire OS would be unsupported if you were using proprietary drivers also (for any hardware). RHEL 3's driver support will remain XFree86 4.3.0 indefinitely. Any changes I can make to the driver to improve stability and fix bugs over time will go into the 4.3.0 updates for RHEL 3. Any _small_ and _isolated_ features that can be directly tested by me personally, and not regress the driver have a chance of going in also, but not any time in the near term. I will not ever make major changes to the drivers in RHEL 3 which may jeopardize stability however. RHEL 3 is not supposed to change in large ways. -- Mike A.
