Hey, so, remember back in the dark ages when dualhead was this
insanely wild differentiating feature? Matrox thought it was so
special, in fact, that they hid most of the implementation of it
(and a bunch of other stuff) in a binary-only blob called the
HALlib. As you'd expect it was pretty much a cut-and-paste of
the relevant Windows code, and then some open glue to keep it
working; clientlx.c is that glue.
I guess the theory was that if you don't tell people which
registers to duplicate to implement a second pipe in their own
hardware, they won't figure it out? A pretty eyeroll-worthy
idea even at the time, and definitely not something we should be
condoning anymore.
Kill it with fire ...
