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.
