Since Matrox only licenses their specs to these boards, you will need to get a commerical software (X Inside Inc has a commerical X for Matrox boards). related, but not for conferencing: OmniMedia Talisman (MPEG viewer) Cards people are interested in writing drivers: Jazz Jakarta (Amancio Hasty has expressed interested in writting a driver. I believe this is also a video card. I also believe this is a MPEG board. This board should be excellent for "live" video viewing). Matrox Meteor (Jim Lowe and I are interested in writting the Matrox Meteor drivers. This driver offer 16/24 bit packed RGB and 4-2-2 planar YUV output for conferencing tools suchas nv/ivs. Right now I am trying to get a better understanding of the PCI bus). --- Seppo
