We have a handfull of the G450 cards, most of them doing dual-head service. We are using the XFree86-4 out of ports and this works pretty good. Dual head works fine. We have only two gripes: o DRI doesn't work out of the box. (I haven't had it working since 4.0.1) o The second head won't do DPMS. I've tried the suggestions from http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/ to get DRI working with the G45 and XFree86 4.1, but to no avail. A patch found on the Linux support forum at Matrox's site (http://matrox.com/mga/support/forum/agree.cfm) has been applied to the mga driver that you get from the CVS repository, and that does fix the DPMS on the second head problem.
