It has a Matrox driver, with that option already available in the "Ad-
vanced"-section.  The icon is there.  They just don't know what it
does.  Well, I can understand how they feel from the time when I had
to fight with Unix's X-Windows, which offers so many ways of doing
things different it's almost a guarantee that you won't find your way
around another person's desktop.

I like Open-Source.  The main problem is just that they make standards
on all levels a matter of personal preference and therefore quasi of
religion.  At least in Windows you can say, in certain areas, "this is
how it is," and won't have to start arguing deontics, how it SHOULD be.

got the name.  Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
