I'm also running a Matrox Millennium G200 with good results under the latest XFree86 and Windows 9x/NT. I'm not sure why Mr. Sutter recommends against it's use for 3D purposes, but in Windows 98, games using Direct3D and even OpenGL work quite well. It's not the fastest 3D gaming card out there, but it does do 3D to a window, and it's got enough memory and speed to support 24/32-bit color at some very high resolutions and refresh rates.
