You were damn close actually.  A good friend of mine expanded on your
thoughts and we came up with 

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Matrox"
        Option          "HWCursor" "off"
        Option          "SWCursor" "on"
        Driver          "mga"
        VideoRam        32768
EndSection

Which, works like a charm
