Hi Adrian,

> the patch below adds some Configure.help entries that are in pre3-ac1
> but are missing in -pre5.
why do you remove such things like (only text):

-Matrox G100/G200/G400/G450/G550 support
-Matrox I2C support
-Matrox G450 second head support
-Matrox unified driver multihead support

?

ciao, Marc

Hi Marcelo,

the patch below includes some Configure.help entries for new options in 
2.4.21 that aren't in 2.4.21-rc2 from -ac.

It applies (with a few lines offset) against 2.4.21-rc2.
