I do not know if that driver will work since it is old, but here we are:

1. Right-click on the tar.gz and select "Extract here".

2. Open a terminal (Menu: Accesories->Terminal).


3. Assuming the file was in your Downloads directory, and the filename
was matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0.tar.gz:

Type: cd  Downloads/matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0


4. Type: sudo ./install.sh

It will ask for your password. Proceed with the installation.
