The X configuration program for RH 9 is 'redhat-config-xfree86'. I
haven't used the Matrox 550, but I have used the Matrox 400 and 450 with
RH 7.1 and 7.2, worked well.
It does look like you will need the 'hal' libraries from Matrox to use
the DVI interface. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to use DVI with Linux in
the past. It kind of looks like you may have to setup the DVI monitor as
the secondary until you get the 'hal' library running anyway. You may be
able to change it later.
