Look here:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/latest/home.cfm
I downloaded the ones named "BETA 2.0" in the row labeled "Millenium
G400 / Millenium G400 MAX" and the column labeled "Linux".
Note that the 'mgapdesk' utility i buggy, came up showing my two
displays swapped left-to-right, etc., but it did leave me with a config
file I could edit to obtain the desired results.
HTH, Paul
