I do suggest you make a search on the net on dualhead matrox to find examples
of a proper xorg.conf.
FabX,

Please clarify: is the i810 a *built-in* onboard grafix card? Or is it
in a PCI slot of its own? IIRC, one may have to disable the onboard
video to allow a PCI card (the Matrox, Neo) to do the video work. For
you to get a max of 4 monitors running, if what I said is true, then
you need to have another dualhead-capable card in another PCI slot.
