You'll need to tell me exactly where you're having a problem because I
thought the installation was very simple. You'll need to get the
xmatrox.tgz and xfsetup.tgz archives. Assuming that you saved the
archives in /tmp, type the following:
su (you'll need to enter root password here)
umask 022
gzip -cd /tmp/xmatrox.tgz | tar xvpf -
gzip -cd /tmp/xfsetup.tgz | tar xvpf -
xf86config (you'll need to specify your video card here!)
Then, make sure that the first two lines of /etc/X11/Xserver are:
/usr/bin/X11/XFCom_Matrox
Console
That's about it as far as I remember.
