That part was pretty easy. I downloaded the X11 drivers from the Matrox site.
They come with a pretty good REAME file that gives several example
configurations for the XF86Config-4 file. There's also a PowerDesk utility
that will let you graphically set the options and modify the configuration.
I tried it afterwards and it seems to work well also.
I always compile the kernel from scratch (I'm using 2.4.19 right now - the
development kernel, 2.5.48, has a compile problem in the bttv drivers). There
are several important options in the Frame Buffer section that relate to the
Matrox G400 - especially Dual Head mode. You'll probably need to check those
out.
Hope this helps,
