Dale, I had this same problem myself, with pre-release versions of
Branden's .debs. (The -phase1 and -phase2 releases.) I wrote a message
off to matrox, they wrote back some obvious things, but nothing helped.
Sadly, I don't recall if the problem went away when I upgraded the
matrox-supplied mga_drv.o driver, or at some point when Branden updated
the CVS he was tracking. :(
It might not hurt to comment out the GLX/DRI stuff in your XF86Config-4
file, if you don't need them. It isn't perfect. :)
