Again, I did not mean to spread misinformation. The Illuminator Pro was mentioned as a response to a message about the Matrox Pro, and I wanted to make sure that the distinction between the chipsets was clear. The MGA chipset is used in the Matrox MGA Impression, the Matrox MGA Pro, and Matrox MGA Ultima, and the Matrox MGA Ultima-Plus. The Matrox Illuminator and Illuminator Pro are not MGA-based boards. The Vibrant Inline driver supports the MGA boards, but does not currently support the Matrox Illuminator or Illuminator Pro. I was lead to belive that these boards are essentially TARGA Classic clones from the point of view of the programmer–I was not trying to compare the quality of the board or it's usefulness, mearly the support issues from the driver's perspective. As such, we probably won't support the Illuminator until we get TARGA Classic support in place. I also wanted to make it clear that we DO support Targa+ in the latest driver, which is not the same thing as the Targa Classic. Sorry, I was trying to make a short message about these issues, and I failed to make it clear. Hope this clears things up. Chuck Walbourn – Vibrant Graphics
