Matrox Millenium G450 Dual-Head working in Fedora Core 6?

Anyone gotten Matrox Millenium G450 Dual-Head working in Fedora Core 6?
I've tried but so far been unable to get things to work.
The distribution at http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/support/drivers/driverList.php
includes versions for Linux but they depend on what looks like an "older version" of the Xorg server.
I'm running 7.1.1, and the release notes say the drivers work with up to Xorg 7.0.0.


I can't find these packages (with those names) on my system, so any suggestions?

I've tried installing the binaries (using the install.sh), and I get the error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# pwd
/home/pats/matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0
# ./install.sh

========================================


Please enter the full path to your current X11R6 directory:
Example: /usr/X11R6
/usr/X11R6
ERROR: The X server drivers included in this installation package
       do not support the current version of your X server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also tried compiling the code and I got errors due to missing packages.
I think these are "old" names anyway so I don't think they will work but I'm open to suggestions.
