Hey Gang,

I had recently done a SuSE 8.1 install at work to replace my Mandrake 8.2. 
During the setup I was pleased to note that my graphics adapter was 
supported. The pleasure was short lived as I found that it would not utilize 
my second monitor.

I decided to do some digging yesterday. Matrox has very good Linux driver 
support. I replaced the driver, made some edits to my XFree86 file and 
rebooted to a very nice (albeit stretched) two screen layout that I had only 
been able to do under Windows.

The only drag is that I could not get their PowerDesk software to run. It's 
doubtful that I will be making changes but it would have been nice to have.

Anyway, I wanted to share that. The docs that came with the driver and the 
PowerDesk app had all the settings I needed except turning Xinerama on.
