No, XFree does not (and probably will never) support Matrox cards. You can use any of the commercial X servers, e.g. AccelX or Metro-X, or you can buy the Official RedHat 3.0.3 w/ Metro-X bundled. The bundled Metro-X server still has some minor problems with Millennium, but the final version (free to registered users) should fix this.
