Your Matrox, with 8MB, should be easily able to handle my configuration. Just
try life on X11 with DefaultColorDepth set to 24 or 32. At a minimum you should
have 1024x768 or 1280x1024 for resolution.

A lot of people don't have their monitor and/or video card manuals (like I do
;), so they usually run into problems trying to tune X11 as much as possible.
Checkout these sites for such info:

I don't mind - I can run most of them without too much lag.
