I did that, and it seems stable so far (one night and one day of
xscreensaver).  Of course, as soon as I post this, it will lock up.

However, the "mga_drv_hal.o" file comes from the Matrox drivers
package.  X won't even start if I use the XFree86 mga_drv.o with
mga_drv_hal.o.  So I just tell X not to load the HAL thing.  According
to Matrox's documentation, I really don't even need the HAL library
for what I'm doing.

Thanks for the feedback!
