Matrox Graphics, Inc. is a producer of video card components and equipment for personal computers and workstations. Based in Dorval, Quebec, Canada, it was founded in 1976 by Lorne Trottier and Branko Matić.

To support Unix and Linux, Matrox has released only binary drivers for most of their product line and one partially free and open-source driver for the G550 card which comes with a binary blob to enable some additional functionality. These drivers were tested and are allegedly supported for quite old distributions.[11] They do not work on newer Linux kernels and X.Org Server versions. In addition to the proprietary drivers provided by Matrox, the DRI community has provided drivers under the GPL license for many more of the devices.

      I never said they’re as good as the big 3 players just that they’re a canadian graphics card company. I thought it was cool that we had one.

      Stop being immature. Use better adjectives for describing things, your vocabulary is so bare that you’re repeating the same annoying word 4 times.

        I had no idea Matrox was Canadian, thanks for sharing!

        ATI was Canadian, can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years (oof) since AMD bought them.

          ATI was always my go-to. They’re still good with AMD. I only ever owned one NVidia card, it was crap.
