This is on a -current system supped right before the gcc 3.1 import with XF4.2. The Matrox provided (mga) driver works fine for me with both multi-head and Xinerama. I'm currently using old-school multihead since Xinerama seems to slow it down a little bit (purely perceptive measurements here, I have no scientific evidence one way or the other). I was using DRI for a while, but had to turn it off due to being a bit unstable. 3D acceleration worked for me, but after a while (usually within a day or 2), X would just lock completely. No number lock, no switching virtual terminals, nothing. The machine was still up -- I could ssh in -- but the console was totally unusable until I rebooted. I'm not sure if it's a driver problem or simply bad cooling on the card (I had to, uh, MacGuyver the heatsink into staying on :). Haven't had a problem since I disabled DRI.
