Good for you. Whoever came up with the idea of Xinerama... well, better
left unsaid.

Dunno about that, but you can tell the Matrox driver that the LCD is there
vs a monitor and see if that cleans it up.

Well, I have zero use for Quake, but you can use DRI just fine on one head.

The G400/450 is AGP 2x, but you have to tell the driver to do that,
otherwise it defaults to 1x for maxiumum stability.
