Or an old and gold Matrox G450,
The G400 requires mga_hal which is a binary and blah,
freakin blah. Link S. dropped his G400 buy the studio
for me to try out. I think the G450 is a solid buy for
technical and usability requirements. It's said to run
out of the box and with dual monitor support at that.
I'm gonna go find one.
Regarding matrox, heres my experiences with graphics cards
on linux for audio use, posted half year ago:

Theres a typo there though: "Matrox 400+500" is supposed to
be "Matrox 450+550". I'm afraid of those cards. They
made my machines behave strangely, hanging, lots of cpu use.
It might work for you though, but none of mine have been
very pleasant, neither in windows or linux. You can find similar
experiences on the net, you should search a bit.
