Yep.

boot=/dev/hda7
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12
        label=Linux
        root=/dev/hda7
        read-only
        append="video=matrox:xres:900,yres:650,depth:8,pixclock:17000"

That clear enough?

I think your problem is that there are matrox drivers for the mystique and
the g200 series, so the g400 series may not yet be supported.

In that case the vesa framebuffer drivers should work, however, that will
result in very low refresh rates :(

So G100/200 but not G400???
