They are not. They used to be, but started closing some parts in the dualhead G550 era (istr some feature upgrade being sold as a software-only update which may be the reasoning behind this; very annoying because otherwise I'd be quite happy with Matrox G cards as they're stable, not too power-hungry and fanless). Parhelia/P650 range is closed. Matrox G range is variable - main driver works well, but needs a blob to use some features. One of those features appears to be init'ing the DVI correctly if the monitor needs something setup differently to how the card's BIOS does it (i.e. it is meant to work with some DVI monitors but definitely does not work with all).
