Summary : Matrox video driver for the Xorg X server
Description :
mga is an Xorg driver for Matrox video cards.
The driver is fully accelerated, and provides support for the following
framebuffer depths: 8, 15, 16, 24, and an 8+24 overlay mode. All visual
types are supported for depth 8, and both TrueColor and DirectColor
visuals are supported for the other depths except 8+24 mode which
supports PseudoColor, GrayScale and TrueColor. Multi-card configurations
are supported. XVideo is supported on G200 and newer systems, with
either TexturedVideo or video overlay. The second head of dual-head
cards is supported for the G450 and G550. Support for the second head on
G400 cards requires a binary-only "mga_hal" module that is available
from Matrox, and may be on the CD supplied with the card. That module
also provides various other enhancements, and may be necessary to use
the DVI (digital) output on the G550 (and other cards).
