To the best of my knowledge, Matrox no longer releases documentation of their hardware to open source projects and developers. The last documentation that is available I believe is the G400. From what I understand, the documentation contains information on defeating Macrovision. I wonder why they couldn't just remove sensitive information though or redact it out. At least Matrox supports their hardware via in house development patches though. Possibly someone at Matrox would consider writing support for missing features, if not in official capacity, perhaps on their spare time. Not sure if anyone from Matrox reads the list or not, but it might be a good idea to contact Luugi Marsan or Karl Lessard perhaps. Just a thought.
