Might be useful for anyone else wanting to use a matrox g200 quad monitor pci card with dsl - this is what I did to get it working:
download the XFree86.dsl and copy it into the backup device so its there on restart.
download the mga_drv.o and mga_drv_hal.o drivers from the matrox site:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/latest/home.cfm
copy them both to:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
get the busid's for the card by using lspci
then edit:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
to something like this (set for 3 screens):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen "Screen2" LeftOf "Screen0"
Screen "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
Screen "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

(the: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" - enables the mouse scroll wheel/middle button)
edit /home/dsl/.xserverrc
comment out the existing exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa... line and add:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp
so that the system used XFree86 on restart
then just edit the /home/dsl/filetool.lst to add the following so they're backed up/restored:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal_drv.o
