From README.Debian:
X server crash with Matrox cards
--------------------------------
If your X server is using the mga driver and X Window Look & Feel is enabled
(this is not the default), you may find that your X server crashes. You can
work around this problem by adding this line to the mga Device section:
Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill"
There is a bug already open against xserver-xfree86 for this problem. Thanks
to Philip Armstrong for this information.
