1. Matrox G550 and XFree86
Is there any known problem using the Matrox G550 Dual Head together with xfree86? And while on the topic does the xfree86 support the dual head feature?

XFree86/OS2 3.3.6 does not support the G550. Neither the G450. A few managed to get their G450 running with version 3.3.5 and the card definition of a G400. If you don't want to try this, you'll have to use version 4 instead. Though that will probably mean even more fiddling.
To my knowledge no version of XFree86 supports the Dualhead features to date.

So what you're saying is that the G550 is supported in version 4?

According to the documentation it is. And it is even said to support the dualhead, though I don't know how to configure it.
