Well, it looks like maybe they started by bringing the antique 2nd Edition
(1995) drivers forward, to get 3rd Edition off the ground. And 3rd Edition
has only been out a few months. Maybe this situation will improve.
These days, though, every graphics card for the PC is a 3D gaming card, and
right now Matrox is the only company doing the right thing with documentation.
You can look at XFree86, but XFree86 has a lot of problems with a lot of
cards; bugs are rife, and many drivers aren't even accelerated. So it's a
pretty grim situation.
