If the Matrox came with your machine then it is most likely an OEM card.  
The OEM Matrox cards have slower RAMDACs than the retail versions, so that
*may* have been the problem...

Anyways, I was using Metro-X with a Millenium w/4M & it works great, however
friends (who have tried MetroX & X-Inside) have told me that X-Inside is 
*MUCH* better than MetroX.

I have the Accelerated-X server and it works very well this the
Millennium. Installation was very easy,much easier than XFree.
However, its costs about $100 US plus shipping. I ordered it directly
from the US company that produces it, X Inside.

To my knowledge there is no shop in Australia that sells the 
commercial X servers. If you want to walk into a shop and buy an
X server than you should probably get Red Hat 3.0.3 wit Metro-X

I've had no problems with Accelerated-X and they have reponded
promptly to all my email questions.

I likewise have a Matrox Millenium card, but not as much luck
as Michael. Turns out the Accelerated X has a problem with 
Matrox Cards in Compaq machines. Someone from Xinside sent me
email saying the prob was fixed, but never explained themselves.
You might check with them about that depending on your machine...

I have a Pentium Pro here with a Matrox Millenium card. And as X-server
I have the commercial Accelerated-X server. It works realy good. =

The X-server was realy easy (a kid could almost do it if you compare to the=

XFree86 version) to install. And to get a realy good resolution was no prob=
lem.
Right now I'm running 1600*1200 with 65k colors with 72Hz refresh rate (thi=
s on
a 21" EIZO FlexScan F784-T monitor)
Like Michael I also order it directly from the states. =

And when I order the X-server I also order MWM and MWM-development pack. So=
 that
I can program OpenGL and other fun stuff that this card supports.

Sorry that I couldn't CC to Sonia couldn't find the original message.
