I had some reasonable luck with a Matrox Millenium G450 PCI,
but only when running with a "real" CPU on the Malta.   It
seemed to have problems when working with a CoreFPGA2 module,
and since I didn't need it for the work I was doing with
the FPGA, I pulled it out instead of debugging the problem,
which might have been something really simple and stupid.
