Hmmm.  I'm typing this on a machine with a G200, on which I used
portupgrade to upgrade the components of XFree86 from 4.1.0 to 4.2.0.
I'm *not* using WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER=yes.

The mga driver complained a bit about not finding mga_hal, but 
otherwise, everything came up.  As far as I can tell, I'm running the 
mga driver just fine.

If you want, I can send you my config file and a log file (by private 
email to avoid spamming the list).  I don't have much experience with 
debugging XFree86 configurations...maybe I've just gotten lucky?

Bruce.
