Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

I will not be able to research this one further. I replaced the Matrox board, thus clearing this problem on my system. Thanks for your efforts.
Unfortunately the 'mga' log file here is really a vesa log file. As there is no log from the mga driver, there is insufficient information to continue working on this bug. If you attach the log file from a run with the mga driver, please reopen this bug, and we'll look into it.
