Basics:

Install drivers on Windows box and then plug device in
Update firmware and reboot
Decide on what resolution that your Linux box is going to use after looking at the display modes in the Matrox software
Set the Matrox box to that mode by using the Matrox software
Note the overall output resolution and refresh rate
Move device over to your Linux box and set the Linux box at the same resolution AND refresh rate

Notes

I really do not think that OS matters for anything but configuration.
Triplehead2Go Mode expander: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/drivers/download/th2go/tmet/
(2048x768@60Hz?) or higher?
Ended up using 2048*768 @ 60Hz
