Isn't it enough to post it once instead of posting it multiple times ?!

As far as I know the Matrox Millenium isn't supported by XFree86.
Only by the Xinside Accelerated Server.

SVGA possibly won't work with the card, that has a special graphic
chip. Although most chips are SVGA compatible. But I think then
only in SVGA standard resolutions.
