Im not sure if will still work, but in the days of using Matrox cards I used to:
1. Download linux driver: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/drivers/
2. Place mga_drv.o and mga_hal.drv.o into /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
(was /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ when i did it).
This used to work and allow me have to dual-head with mga.
Not sure about nowdays though - worth a shot.
