Hello,
I have a NetBSD system with a Matrox Mystique G200 video card and I
would like to use it's TV-OUT capability with XFree. Matrox supplies
a XFree driver in binary and source (yay!) form at
<http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_09.cfm> for
*Linux*. So several questions arise:
o Might the linux + Xfree driver work with NetBSD (i386)?
o Has anyone tried this with any success or failure?
o Is the special Matrox driver even needed? Might the XFree 4.1.x
driver be sufficient?
o Has anyone used the TV-Out feature on a G200-based Matrox card?
Thanks. I'd love to get this to work w/NetBSD, instead of having to
revert back to a bloated RedHat installation.
