I've done it this way, and it worked for both my Matrox Mill II's and my
G200--
1. Download either
(a) the XF86Setup, xsvga, XFree86 3.3.2 that came with the SuSE 5.3
CD
+ the special matrox.rpm (has the G200 driver) from the SuSE ftp
site; or,
(b) the XFree86-3.3.3-3.rpm (which includes the Matrox G2 driver in
its SVGA server) + whatever xfonts you want (xfnt100.., xfntbig...,
xfntscl... + xfsetup-3.3.3-3.i386.rpm + xsvga-3.3.3-3.i386.rpm).
2. Install either (a) or (b) using
rpm -Uhv <whateverthenameis>.rpm --force
3. Then run XF86Setup and pick your mouse, kbd, video card, monitor
limits, resolution + color depth, then try it.
