I have a Matrox G400 32MB granted not a 450 but it works great.  Also,
Matrox has released Powerdesk for Linux.  It is suppose to have some of the
features that powerdesk for windows has.
Here's the press release about Powerdesk for Linux:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/media_center/press_rel/2001/linux_powerdesk.cfm

I haven't had a chance to try it yet so I can't tell you whether it is easy
or not to install and use.

This is a link to Matrox drivers along with Powerdesk for Linux along w/
other OSes.
