I have the same card and it works.
I'm using a stock Woody Xfree-4.1.0 with mgadrivers-2.0 downloaded from
here:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/lnx_200.cfm
Do you use the same?
Are you sure your XF86Config-4 is correct?
Try to disable framebuffer and verify you do not have a duplicated entry
for your mouse (I had those problems the first time):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "mga"
#Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
#InputDevice "Generic Mouse

I got no problem with provided install.sh.

Do not even try, it's useless with this card.

I don't use dualhead so I can't help about that.
