I am fairly certain that the card should be able to run at
1280x1024@32bpp, but since I am not using AGP (soon, my precious, soon),
I haven't tried it out.  Which version of X are you using (3.3.1.x,
3.3.2.x, 3.3.3.x).  If you use Windows, what is the max you are able to
get there?  Have you checked out matrox's site (it sucks, actually), or
better yet, http://www.xfree86.org has some information on the Matox
cards, including some configuration tips.  Hint: check in their
documentation section.  Of course, if you give me you system, I can
tweak it for you ;).
