    This is not a complete answer. Just another data point.

    That is the Hardware Abstraction Layer and is part of the matrox
    driver from the matrox site. I needed to install the matrox driver in
    order to get that on my machine.

    But a good friend with a very similar configuration did not need to
    install that driver. So I can't make any general statements about
    when it is needed and when it is not needed. Apparently it is not
    always needed but sometimes it is needed. I have no understanding of
    when is which.

    But it is not distributed as part of the linux kernel. So if you need
    it then you have to install the driver from matrox.
