Not to mention that people still work on the Radeon driver, whereas the
Matrox stuff has been all but dead for years.
Also, Matrox's new (PCI-E) releases of the Millenium series has gone

there was no 3D hardware available with open drivers but that's not the
case.
Given that I'm considering building a new machine, can you point to
references please? I wasn't aware any 3D GFX manufacturer had released
any significant specs/code...
