I should have thought some more...from your log file:

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal_drv.o
(II) Module mga_hal: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
	compiled for 4.0.3, module version = 1.0.0

You are trying to use a module compiled for X4.0.3. In the latest matrox 
tarball you will find a dir containing modules compiled for X4.2. The 
mga_drv_hal.o in that dir works fine with either version of mga_drv.o. At 
least that's my experience with a G450. YMMV.
