They are not.

They used to be, but started closing some parts in the dualhead G550
era (istr some feature upgrade being sold as a software-only update
which may be the reasoning behind this; very annoying because otherwise
I'd be quite happy with Matrox G cards as they're stable, not too
power-hungry and fanless).

Parhelia/P650 range is closed.

Matrox G range is variable - main driver works well, but needs a blob
to use some features. One of those features appears to be init'ing
the DVI correctly if the monitor needs something setup differently to
how the card's BIOS does it (i.e. it is meant to work with some DVI
monitors but definitely does not work with all).
