XFree86 is excellent software (for example, I do not know that any MS
SW will let me choose the best resolution for my hardware).
It is free for us, but does need some support (to pay X-consortium
membership fees for example). Some companies have shown support and/or
interest, thus helping them.
Buying their products from these companies is one way to say thank
you, and to support indirectly the XFree86 effort.
see http://www.xfree86.org/sponsors.html
for a list of these companies (and supporting individuals)
I should add that I do not remember seeing Matrox listed there, since
buying Matrox was a recent discussion topic.
I am not personally connected to the XFree86 effort.
