Are we talking about a pre-Parhelia card?

I just remembered; the Matrox G100/200/400 drivers and/or hardware has 
problems with multiple OpenGL contexts. Matrox have known about it 
for ages, but seem to ignore the problem. This is part of the reason 
why I gave up on my G400.

That said, IIRC, you *can* still get multiple windows (different 
processes) accelerated. If so, why not windows on different 
desktops...?

Oh well... Accelerated drivers. No end to the fun! ;-)
