The 4.3 driver I have from Matrox does not work with 6.9:
matrox_driver-x86-4.3.0/install.sh:
function GetXVersion
{
XVERSION=`X -version 2>&1 | grep -s "XFree86 Version" | cut -d" " -f3 | sed
-e "s/\([^\.]*\.[^\.]*\.[^\.]*\)\.[^\.]*/\1/"`
[...]
elif [ "$XVERSION" == "6.8.2.0" ]; then
XPRESENT=1
XVERSION="6.8.2"
else
echo -e "$RED\033[1mERROR\033[0m: \033[1mThe X server drivers
included in this installation package"
echo -e " do not support the current version of your X
server.\033[0m"
echo ""
exit 1
fi
If it's 6.9 then the install script dies.

No, I'm not asking how to restart xdm. (I'm not using xdm, I'm just
running startx.) I was asking how I could do:
laptop: $ ssh desktop
desktop: $ DISPLAY=0.0 startx -- +xinerama
so startx on the desktop's server server over ssh. When I was using
the desktop directly running startx was not working, but also leaving
the display in an un-usable state (didn't got back to text mode). If
I could startx over ssh then I could use a separate machine to debug
and try restarting the server without having to reboot.
