Um. Not to be a party-pooper or anything, I wondered whether the
licence lets you do that. From XIG's prices page, where you can
look at the licence for Accelerated X (basically: one lot of binaries 
for one computer only), it would appear not.

(It's quite scary reading these licences once you've got used to 
the world of (L)GPL, BSD, and MIT licences!)

  Matrox Millennium 2/4/8MB  ..............................  XF86_SVGA
  Matrox Millennium (MGA)  ................................  XF86_SVGA
  Matrox Millennium G200 4/8/16MB  ........................  XF86_SVGA
  Matrox Millennium G200 SD 4/8/16MB  .....................  XF86_SVGA
  Matrox Millennium II 4/8/16MB  ..........................  XF86_SVGA
  Matrox Millennium II AGP  ...............................  XF86_SVGA

I hope that one of those helps.
