No wise words from me, but worth checking something:

First be sure that the card is indeed a Millennium; I have not heard of the
Millennium being supplied as original in the S900. When you run the ProgBios
firmware updater, it should report the name of the card; the Millennium is
reported as "Millennium", a Millennium II is "Mistral", and the Mystique is
"Mystique".

If it is indeed a Millennium (code name "Storm"), your firmware and driver
might be a little old. Try the final release of the firmware 3.01 and driver
3.00:

ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/mac/millennm/bios/bios301mil.hqx

ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/mac/millennm/mac_os/milmac30.hqx

The firmware is "StormROM.bin/v.3.01", that might give you more compatibility.
The 3.00 driver also contains a more stable version of PowerDesk as well.

Good luck!

All the best,

Sam.
