some 2.6 notes are in the wip howto
on my homepage, but not yet on tldp (lack of comments)
and the other sorce is linux console's ml

i haven't got a chance to play much with multihead matrox
(cause my primary monitor died)

but almost everything is on the mailing list

some small further notes 
(read them after you have read the mailing list)

- matroxfb have to be compiled as modle
( else it causes tottal freeze at boot )

Aivils this is also with test6 before the addition of multiple VT's on fbcon

- for Matrox G400 DH you shouldn't need the
"swapped" script
(
Petr ((matroxfb maintainer)) wrote me some time ago
 that XFree disconnects the second head for G450/550
 but not for G400  
)

- for G450 the same may be true
(
Miguel wrote me that with XFree-4.3 
his http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/g450.html
"mga + fb"  is working OK
)

- if you need "swapped" and use gdm
 the file to change is:
[path to gdm conf directory]/Init/Default
