The meteor driver needs to to ported to the newbus to work with
FreeBSD 5.x.

It has not been done because the meteor driver works only with the
original Meteor card. That card had a chipset bug that locked up
when used on a PCI 2.x bus. At the time, Matrox was not too cooperative
with specs for newer Meteor designs, so the FreeBSD multimedia folks
used the Brooktree line of video capture chipsets.
