It has been tested with 175 and 220MHz cards with 2 and 4MB WRAM. NOTE: This driver is pretty new, and not everything works like you expect it to. It shouldn't crash your machine, but you may have video artifacts or missing lines. Please report any and all problems to XFree86@Xfree86.org using the appropriate bug report sheet. There will be updated drivers in the coming XFree86 beta releases. ... The basic answer is use XFree86-3.2 or I believe the AcceleratedX server from Xinside supports Matrox cards as well.
