Well, I'd be surprised if you could do that -- I think the second head on
the G400 can only go up to about 1280x1024.  From what I've heard, you
should be able to do it with 4.1.0 without the Matrox drivers.

Run `lspci' or `cat /proc/pci' to find the PCI id of your card.  It
probably isn't 1:0:0 for some reason.  Make sure to change it in both
Screen sections.
