Scenario 2 "Gaming configuration":
a) Should probably ignore the Matrox card altogether.

My experience with dual head is exactly nil, but here's a thought based on some general X ideas. When you restored the config so it worked with wolfenstein, did it involve more than copying back the XF86Config file to /etc/X11? If you have the dual head config running with /etc/X11/Xf86Config and have the "gaming config" in /etc/X11/XF86Config.gaming, try switching to a console, log in and do "startx -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config.gaming -- :1" I don't know if you'll have problems with kernel modules colliding, but theoretically it should work. Prepare for crashes, though. 3D isn't exactly the best tested aspect of linux. Just a thought //Anders
