I started this one out as a dual-head set-up and later went to a full on tri-head with a 16Mb PCI Nvidia. I had to use the binary hal module from the Matrox site... which you can't link to directly because of their click through license agreement. It worked with XFree 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, and finally 4.3, they're always a little behind X in getting a version out, but since I never needed DRI (xinerama being on), I would usually just cheat and use the 4.2.1 driver with XFree 4.3.0 and so forth.
3 heads with this guy is a little bit of headache. I had to do the Matrox side using mgapdesk and creating a merged framebuffer entry and then just hacked that XF86Config up with the Nvidia card's info until the bloody thing loaded right. Its a little pokey, but pre-emtible kernel helped out with that some.
Cheers,
Finegan
