In message "[S.u.S.E. Linux] SVGA Server not installed in suse 5.2?", you write:

I had similar problems. Try this:

1. When selecting the Matrox card in YAST, make sure you select
   AGP variant of the Millenium II.

2. Delete the VGA server completely from the list of installed
   servers. Don't worry, the Matrox is an SVGA card, and there
   is standard VGA built into the SVGA server. Deleting the VGA
   server forces YAST to use the SVGA server - YAST seems to
   have a fetish for the VGA server, despite being told to
   choose another server.

Hopefully this should solve your problem. My monitor has one of those
on-screen adjustments, and at 1280x1024 my Millenium II is driving the
screen at 87Hz. It looks as sharp as a pin. :-)
