I finally had to downgrade these three packages and reinstall the mga drivers from the Matrox website to get X to start:
$ dpkg -l | grep -i xserve ii xserver-common 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-xfree86 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 transitional package for moving from xfree86 ii xserver-xorg 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 the X.Org X server Still, if I exit X I don't have my console back, and "reset" doesn't fix it.
