It's quite easy, with X4. If you go to Matrox's official site, they have beta
drivers there, including docs on how to set it up, even with example X4 config
files. I'm using 4.0.2 now - I don't know if the included driver with it is the
latest, but I've had no problems so far.

I love the Matrox cards. Excellent 2D quality (and quality all round), and
features. They're just lagging the market now on 3D performance... *sigh*
