I had the same problem and ended up writing the program under Watcom:
the Matrox libraries don't work at all under djgpp, the source is
unavailable. I tried to do it at the hardware level: I found the specs
for the digitizer chip at the Philips website, but the pci interface
chip is matrox proprietary material, so unless a generic way exists to
do dma over the pci bus, I don't see how to do it. I also found on the
web some source for a linux driver. I'm still interested if anyone
knows more.
