# Matrox

**Chipsets** [[!map pages="^Matrox.+"]] 


## Status

Supported chipsets: 

   * G200 
   * G400 
   * G450 
   * G550 
Unsupported chipsets (early): 

   * Mystique (1064 and 2064) 
   * Millenium II (2164) 
   * Productiva G100 
While Xorg has 2D support for these early chips, there is no 3D support yet. 

Unsupported chipsets (modern): 

   * QID 
   * P650 
   * P750 
   * Parhelia 
P-series and Parhelia cards are supported by a binary driver provided by Matrox.  The QID card is not supported under Linux at all, despite being apparently based on the Parhelia core. 

Important notes: 

   * [[IanRomanick|IanRomanick]] recently added support for PCI mga G4/5xx cards. 
Example graphics cards: 

   * Millennium G550 
   * Millennium G450 
   * Millennium G400 
   * Millennium G200 
   * Mystique G200 

## Specifications

Databooks for the G200 and G400 used to be available through Matrox' developer program, however the program seems to no longer exist.
