Guess I was lucky when I bought my Matrox Mistique card then, huh?  I had
no idea what kind of Linux support it had at the time, except that it did
exist.

But... I have been very happy with it.

Mine is a PCI Matrox Mistique w/ 4mb RAM, BTW... works great in X.
SVGAlib support does seem a bit scarce (have to use generic drivers), but
I don't use many SVGAlib programs anyway... just Quake on occasion, and I
wouldn't be running that in high resolution modes anyway with this
particular CPU.
