No one will do this with the current XFree so get used to the thought that
you have to get a commercial X-server like Metro-X to get your Matrox
running.
I myself have the Millennium 4MB and I am satisfied with the Metro-X. It
has some bugs though, but Quake runs on it so this makes it worth the
money. BTW, I bought it with RedHat Linux 3.0.3 distribution for $50 so it
is really not too expensive.
