For XF86 support, you need to check their web site at
http://XFree86.org/
In particular, see http://XFree86.org/FAQ/#SectionF Question F29, which
is:
Q.F29- Is there a server for the Matrox Millennium G200?

We have received the documentation in late August. There is a
preliminary server available from the XSuSE page. This
server should work on all current G100 and G200 cards. It is known to
sometimes misdetect the amount of memory
installed, so if you run into problems, check if the reported amount of
memory is correct and add the option VideoRam to the
Device Section of the XF86Config file if it is not. 

The XSuSE page is at http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html
or more specifically, http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html#matrox
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
