matroxfb-full-memory patch if you want to access to 32MB video memory.
matroxfb-g400-clock patch if you want to set the graphics and memory 
clocks to values that give good performance (G400 only).

I recommend you grab DirectFB and linux-fusion from cvs. That way you can 
compile fusion without patching your kernel tree.
