Maybe you should start to test Debian-Testing from time to time and report
bugs if something doesn't work for you? Just complaining *after* a release
isn't really helpful.

What exactly is the problem? Kernel related? If so try a more recent kernel
version or an older version and then report a bug.

The mga driver never worked properly without its binary blob if you wanted
more then a single vga connection. Don't know what the situation is now, maybe
matrox doesn't provide a recent binary for Lenny's xorg version. If you want,
go ahead and check yourself on the matrox site.

Again, test yourself before a release and write bugs. You are definitely not
an ordinary helpless user, but you make extensive usage of free software. So
the least you can do is to write bug reports.

Go ahead and check your installation with 'debsums'.
