Did you try xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga 1.4.6.1 as
explained earlier? They've been in Debian testing for a while now, it's
very easy to upgrade...

You mean downgrading to Etch? To Sarge? Reinstalling would probably be
easier...

Other distros use Xserver 1.3 and the MGA driver 1.4.6.1 as Debian
testing does. If it work there, it will work in Debian testing too...

We have been waiting for you to reply during 4 months now. I asked you
to try upgrading to xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga
1.4.6.1 on April 24th, no reply.
The most likely chance to find a fix for such a bug is to test latest
upstream releases. That's what Xserver 1.3 and the MGA driver 1.4.6.1
are. Fixing this in earlier releases such as those in Etch is generally
hard and useless in the end, upgrading is easier.

Unfortunately, you'll have to complain to Matrox about that. If they had
provided free drivers for Linux as they provided drivers for Windows, it
would be easier...
