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).

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.
