Which for Matrox cards is a blatant lie, which I have suspected ever
since first browsing the docs. matroxfb works perfectly in 320x200,
320x240 and 400x300, _with_ acceleration and multihead, on both
Millennium II and G400.
The KGIcon matrox driver was originally written for Millennium I
though, which *may* have had this restriction.
