Dear Randolph, Your message is not clear as regards whether you can start up the X server or not. I will assume the latter. I ran into problems myself with the G400 with the 2.2.19pre17 kernel. I think the error message in question is misleading, as the real problem is elsewhere, possibly with the dri module. The mga_hal message corresponds to the absence of a proprietary module from Matrox, and that should not stop your server from starting. Try commenting out the line in the modules section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 which corresponds to dri, and then hopefully your server will start up. I think that there is a problem with DRI support with 2.2 kernels, though I'm not sure of details.
