- G450
- G550
Unsupported chipsets (early):
- Mystique (1064 and 2064)

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 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.
