you can install the power-desk rpm without checking the dependencies

but powerdesk is for xfree 4.2 and it does not work for 4.3 the XF86Config
it makes is not good for 4.3
you have to edit it on your own after running power-desk to have X work
correctly

there are other nice things about matrox, you can have dual-head console,
but you have to recompile the
kenrnel with matrox acceleration instead of vesa fb
