     If you are referring to the version 2.14 of the drivers, you
are wrong.  It is at that time that I changed from the Matrox to
the ELSA card.
     I called Matrox and they claimed no knowledge of the version
2.14 drivers and told me that if I wanted to talk to them I MUST
remove them and RE-INSTALL the version 2.13 as this was the
"official and supported" version of the drivers.
     The version 2.14 is an IBM hack of the drivers.  It is a hack
that works better than the "official" drivers, but it is still a
hack in the eyes of Matrox because they did not write them, will
not acknowledge that they exist, and will not give their customers
any support if they are using them.
