Yep, i have the same setup.

I think the version of X is your problem. The modules from the Matrox
site seem to be specific to the various point releases of X 4.
Last time I looked, they only supported 4.03 (the version currently in
testing).
Try downgrading to the testing version and see if that works (yeah, a
pain, but you do want to see those screensavers in all their gl glory,
don't you?).

While I don't know for sure, this error message suggests that these
particular drivers are for X 3.x

The version of X4 in testing works fine for me. I suspect that I might
have to put it on Hold for when 4.10 creeps into testing unless Matrox
get their arses into gear and release new drivers.
