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.

      Matrox wouldn’t be in business if they were “shit”. Consumers are not their target market.

      Besides, it sounds to me like you’re not here to have a conversation, you’re just here to make inflammatory, subjective statements.

      You’re allowed to hold an opinion, but voicing opinions you’re not willing to discuss nor support is rather counterproductive.
