Don't know about the cards themselves, but news about releasing the
source code for the drivers was just this week.  My impression is
that Matrox hasn't been trying to compete with the video hardware
folks who are after fast performance for gamers, but have instead
focused on the "video wall" market involving very large displays.

Don't know.  When I get a chance, I might visit their web site to
try and learn more.  I've been using a multi-head environment now
for years and can't see myself going back.  SNAP has some multi-head
support, but it seems unlikely that it will work with the newest
video hardware.  Meanwhile, Panorama may work with more recent
hardware, but no multihead capability to my knowledge.
