Jeruvy proposed the following answer:
To download the latest driver you will want to visit matrox.com and get
the linux drivers for this.  Unpack this tarball into your home
directory and review the documentation for installing it.

Here is a link to it (I cannot confirm it will work as the site expects
you to navigate to this link rather than bypass the web form.  It did
work for me after waiting two minutes for it to respond.

ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2006/matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0.tar.gz

I also do not know if this works with 9.04 as I am using it on a 8.04
box myself in 1280x1024 resolution.

I've included my xorg.conf device section for comparision as there was
some hand modification required to get higher than 800x600 resolution
working.
