"Reboot" works for me (AlphaStation 200 4/166, ARC-firmware) 
using Milo 2.0.35 with both the (current) Matrox Millennium G200 SD 
and the (previous) Digital TGA card.

Be careful when upgrading Milo - I remember I had to use the 
(old) 2.0.35 version on my machine, a newer one would not work 
(remainder of system: SuSE 7.0, kernel 2.2.16); but I do not 
remember the detailed symptoms when I tried. 
IMHO, you should always keep a backup of the working Milo version.

OTOH - is the OP's graphics card a very recent one? 
If not, IMHO he might also try an older Milo version.

HTH,
