Yes. Matrox was very good. But so were later Voodoo3. I know, because I've driven a https://crtdatabase.com/crts/hitachi/hitachi-superscan-21-cm2112mu https://crtdatabase.com/crts/hitachi/hitachi-superscan-21-cm... with it. At 1600x1200@75Hz. Crystal clear and sharp. I also had something by ELSA with a S3 and a translucent blue RAMDAC by IBM. Same thing. But only 2MB VRAM, and PCI. So only useful for testing purposes. Regarding the usability under Linux, or rather support by XFree86, Matrox accelerated some graphics primitives in the DDX-layer, or whatever that was called then. So did the Voodoo3's! Independently of that Glide stuff for 3D. Really nice to have.
