Hello Bill Evans,

You were right, the driver for the dual head G400 wasn't available, but now
it is:
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/08/17/1022241.shtml
An extract:
Matrox has released a beta driver for their G200/G400/G450 which includes
support for DualHead and QuadHead (up to 4 monitors), Flat Panel and TV out.
This driver is a beta. You can get it here and I mirrored it here. You'll
need XFree 4.0.1 in order to use this driver. Please follow the readme file
carefully! (the readme file from Matrox's FTP needs to be converted dos2unix).
Note: you cannot use the 3D hardware acceleration on the 2nd monitor (yet).
Matrox & Precision insight - Keep up the good work!
