Unfortunately the HAL is a i386-only binary provided by Matrox which is
required for G400 dualhead.  The source Matrox provides is just the same
open-source driver with a few minor changes.

Is there a reason you can't use a DVI-to-VGA connector and use one of
the various cheap, faster video cards with two heads out there?
