Nothing, really. I'm just reluctant to give in and use proprietary
drivers, especially as I bought the Matrox card specifically because it
seemed to have the best open source support. Unfortunately I only looked
at the brand, rather than the specific model...

If I wanted proprietary drivers I would have bought an NVidia card.

If I can't figure anything out soon, though, I'll probably just give in
and use those.
