Matrox G550

Hi,

I just recently setup an Athlon 64 system.  I'm using an Asus A8V Deluxe
(rev 2.0) motherboard, and a Matrox G550 video card.  I got the video
card working under FreeBSD i386, but I'm having issues under FreeBSD
amd64.

I read a previous post that makes me believe the drivers won't work on
an amd64 system.  However, one additional difference I noticed between
booting up FreeBSD amd64 vs. FreeBSD i386, is that my agp device doesn't
show up under FreeBSD amd64 (even after adding 'device agp' under
FreeBSD amd64 kernel).

Does agp work under FreeBSD amd64?

If the Matrox drivers are architecture dependent, is it possible to
compile a driver using the driver source Matrox provides?
