Is this well-supported by Xfree86? I'm pretty sure the answer is: They are just now getting the tech specs from Matrox, so therefore the driver hasn't had the first byte written yet... BUT, you might like to check out the X server available from www.xinside.com, also known as www.xig.com They have a downloadable demo that you could try, and if you like it, their server only costs $100. That's not much money to avoid waiting and wrestling with XFree86. I've had a lot of trouble getting XFree86 working on one machine and NO LUCK getting it to work on another (and I'm a 22yr hardware/software/firmware veteran that can create mode lines by hand 8o). I downloaded their server today and got better results on the one machine that I had minor success with, but they don't support my video board in the other machine. When they do, I'll probably spring for it. The demo was REALLY EASY to install and configure...
