Well, I can't even get the G550 to work alone, much less along with another card. I also see this screen distortion in dual-head mode. I believe it is due to the Matrox driver using incorrect timings on the second head, but I don't have the hours and hours to spend tweaking the modelines to try and get it working.
And I still haven't found anyone who can explain to me why DVI output works without the HAL module. According to both the XFree86 and Matrox documentation, DVI shouldn't work at all without HAL. And when I do use HAL, neither the panel nor the CRT gets a good signal. Basically, if I do what the manual says, nothing works. Only by doing what the manual specifically says DOES NOT WORK do I actually get the thing to work. Oh, and in single-head mode, the display (DVI) blanks to black every couple of seconds. More often when a lot seems to be changing on the screen. I believe this is probably also related to incorrect timings. And yes, I've tried "NoCompositeSync" and it makes no difference whatsoever. If anyone out there has the G550 working, driving a DVI panel without this annoying blanking, can you please post your modelines to the list? I think having the correct modelines could be the ticket to getting dual-head to work with the HAL driver.
