Hans,
I use the G400 at work now, I run it at 1280x1024 and 85hz (although it
appears that the 2nd head is running at 75hz sometimes, I think it's a
bug in xinerama or the beta mga hal drivers.)
You can get the matrox G550 now with a lot more features. But it
requires the latest matrox beta drivers (they have been working fine for
me.) And also XFree86 4.1.x+ to work. If you got a G550 with more RAM
on-board you could push it up to 1600x1200 (or higher, you'll have to
check the specs).
I also use the mgapdesk utility, it makes setting up the dual-head a
no-brainer. You can also change display settings pseudo-on-the-fly (it
HUPs X).
