I built the updated server since many people where having problems with that bug at the time. Generally I use X from cvs. you might want to grab a newer X server and 3d driver or revert to your old X server and disable hwcursor.

The current rawhide xorg-x11 src.rpm should require very little modification to get building and running on RHL 9 I believe. You will need to first upgrade freetype to FC2 or later (it needs freetype 2.1.7 or newer). You might need a few other upgrades also, but nothing springs to mind. Since Red Hat Linux 9 is unsupported for ages now though, and wont be getting any security or other bugfix updates from Red Hat, I strongly recommend upgrading the OS to Fedora Core 2 or 3 instead however.

IIRC, you need their binary "HAL" module to enable all the dual-head support features.

I had dualhead working a while back with a G550, but I no longer have the hardware. matrox cards can be a bit tricky to set up in dualhead mode. often times the crtc to output mapping is funky, so you may have to use the swap heads option. Also DDC doesn't work on crtc2 so you'll need to make sure you specify the hsync and vrefresh for both monitors.
