Etch Install Matrox Graphics Problem



I've installed etch. Netinstall. Spanish.
System locked-up entering gnome, after a short while.
Got help from debiantutorials.org: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Matrox Graphics, INC . MGA 1064SG [Mystique]"
        Driver          "mga"
        BusID           "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection

changed "mga" to "vesa" and everything works.

I include graphigs card characteristics form hwinfo out:
