I have a similar configuration, an ASUS A7V8X with the Matrox G550. I'm running Red Hat Linux 9 now. 8 was the first operating system on the machine. With every 8 kernel and the first few 9 kernels the machine completely froze about once a week. With the past few 9 kernel updates the X server just freezes with the following:
ioctl(8, 0x4008642a, 0xbfffe388) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc., doesn't work. You must ssh in and reboot. I don't think this problem has anything to do with direct rendering, because the X wedge has occurred during, for example, the starwars screensaver and has even occurred while normally interacting with the machine. Are you using the DVI interface or any driver from Matrox?
