Not a G550. Nice dual screen (one of the outputs is digital) but I have a 
cursor lockup every couple of days under SuSE 8.0.
With no 3D support some games (Tux Racer) are noticeable in their poor 
rendering.
The Matrox bulletin board has complaints and says it is the hardware cursor 
line in X.
Under SuSE this is off and so I think it is something else. Swapped to a 
cheap GeForce2 and all stable.
