It's expressed a little confusingly. The G400 has two "heads", which are
not actually associated with the physical connectors. The second "head"
is indeed unaccelerated, and you probably don't want to use it unless
you have to.
What you do is display to the first "head", but associated that with
the second connector. You do this using the "matroxset" tool.

I'm not sure. I found that mine looked pretty much right out of
the box, but my vision isn't so great...

The thing to know is that Freevo uses SDL. Anything that SDL supports,
Freevo supports.
If G450 support has improved since I looked at it a year or so ago
(at the time all the docs pretty much said that support wasn't ready
for real use yet) then you may find it simpler to grab one of those.
The cables for them are at least readily available.
