I added a:
Gamma 1.8
to my XF86Config-4 file and upon restart it was obvious that my primary
monitor had it's gamma set to 1.8, but the secondary one was still set
to 1.0 even though the X log and xgamma claimed it was set at 1.8
Setting any gamma with xgamma on the second screen has no effect. This
is on a matrox G450 dualhead with 2 identical ViewSonic P810 21" monitors.

No, all Matrox G450 cards show up as G400 cards. Michel D=E4nzer also
addressed this point. Also, I'll save someone the trouble of making
themselves look like an idiot, and invite them to interpret "82" as a
hexadecimal constant.

The only way to tell a G400 from a G450 is with the PCI device revision
number.

Okay. Anyone who actually has a software problem is welcome to file a
bug.
