Umhum, I see. The question is, what are the details of that different programming? :-( And please note that Meteor driver still reports 7116 chip (and my guess is that those PCI IDs are unique). > What you do not say is if the new boards under windows (i.e. with a > matrox-supplied driver) can do what you need; Oh well, you've got me here! Our supplier sold us just the boards without any extra packages; and there is no drivers on the Matrox website. That's why I cannot reliably tell that they are operational *at all*. Though the law of big numbers suggests that they should work... :-) Anyway, I already asked my supplier to find the drivers; he promised I'll have them this afternoon. I'll report about results. -- Anton Berezin <tobez@plab.ku.dk> The Protein Laboratory, University of Copenhagen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
