I think there is hope for Matrox, which I hope will be my next video
card. I say hope because I recall seeing a note that Matrox had
provided access for the sources of the G200, which suggestes to me that
we will eventually see a server, perhaps even for the Marvel, which
personally I'd like to see(Hauppauge which is the card I have, has not
been as open as as Matrox). Support those businesses that support Linux
in a real way.
