I've not done the video card research lately, but matrox 3d cards were 
pretty well supported by Xfree.  Your best bet is to go to the xfree 
website and check out the supported cards section.

My ati radeon card worked fine after install.  It's an older card 
though.  I've had a number of video cards work fine after installs under 
various distributions.  Thing is, the bleeding edge cards will cause you 
more heartache,  Do the research first.
