Yesterday Matrox released beta drivers for Xfree.
Works fine, no more garbage on console after start xserver, but 32bit is
not supported :-(

Dual monitor works, but you cant switch back to console. got two
blackscreens.

I have tried a mini-hack on mga_vid and run parhelia as mg400 with 128MB RAM.
Only with 16MB and in Dualmode i can see some sort of testimage from
mag_vid_test on the second screen, but its only a small line of
pixelgarbage at the bottom.
