If you are using XFree86 3.3.1 for your Matrox Millenium card, that is
a very experimental version (I think the documentation says pre-alpha).
The most recent free version is at http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html
(XSuSE_Matrox 1.3) but that still has a lot of bugs in the 24bpp and 32bpp
modes. I didn't check your problem with my installation because I am still
at 8bpp (IDL doesn't work in 16bpp, there is a bug with Netscape & 24bpp,
and moving windows has a bug in 32bpp) :-(

Not of much help, I guess.
