why do you remove such things like (only text):
-Matrox G100/G200/G400/G450/G550 support
-Matrox I2C support
-Matrox G450 second head support
-Matrox unified driver multihead support

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK these lines are used nowhere,

nope, you are right. But I think we should either leave all one-line
descriptions from Config.in in or rip all out.
