Rudolf Cornelissen (whom we had an interview with not long ago) has posted a status update to his (open)BeOS Matrox MGA Driver. Since the last update, he has made some good progress with more than TvOut. Read it:

"Currently I am working on the Millenium 1/2 support in the driver. TVout for G400-G550 has improved also since 30 January. It's not completed yet though. I have had some requests for DVDmax support, so I am going to have a look at that. Chances are this will be implemented for G450/G550 at first, while on these cards normal Desktop output will be setup later. The Matrox 2D/3D engine has to be setup to do Texture scaling and filtering for that. BTW: If someone has a singlehead G200 (or G100 if this exists?) with TVout let me know: I think I might be able to make that work too...

If there are people out there with a Millenium1, a Millenium2, or a G100/G200 with TVout please contact me: I could use some betatesters to improve support.."

Very nice indeed. And if you fit the profile and would like to contribute to the further improvement and development of a BeOS driver, contact Rudolf and let him know you want to help.

On a side note (Editor's note.. eh), i would like to thank, once again, all of our readers. You have made February, the shortest month of the year, into our biggest ever! We had over 422 thousand hits (averaging just over 15.000 per day), with almost (very close) 12 thousand unique visitors. I have said it before and i'll say it again, you guys (and girls) ROCK! Thank you very much. As always, we'll try our best to bring you the latest and greatest of the BeOS world.
