The Meteor II devices are a family of frame grabber cards produced by Matrox (in the mid-1990s ?) which utilize Matrox's custom VIA (Video Interface ASIC) PCI interface chipset.
Meteor II Linux Driver Projects
In order from "oldest" to "newest", here are relevant Linux driver projects for Meteor II cards:
- K-Team driver project (2002)
- Emlix driver project (2003) ... looks like the Meteor page has been taken down, however if you do a search, they provide a contact
- Marcus Furlong's Sourceforge driver project (2005) ... which actually began as an undergraduate project in 2003
It doesn't appear that any have been updated in a long while, though some interest in a working driver may still exist. (Also see the article's discussion/talk page for a reported user experience from 2006).
