I am using a matrix mystique as well.  I believe from XFree 3.3, there is
support for the mystique.  You will have to use the SVGA driver though.
I am currently using XFree 3.3.1.  

As for getting this on CD, I am not sure.  I downloaded it.  If you or
anyone else needs by XF86Config file, I will send it to you separately. 

Sorry I you may have to download the software, but you can be sure if
you download 3.3 or 3.3.1 it will work with no problem.
