It is more usual to put the hal module  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
so as not to confuse it with the kernel modules, but I don't see a 
problem with that.

I do note that the DDC probes find the same monitor serial number
on both heads, which suggests the the driver isn't talking to both heads
(although I can't state categorically that DDC works for the second head). 
I'm too confused by lines like
    Screen 0 "Screen1"
    Screen 1 "Screen2" RightOf "Screen1"
(in some places screens count from 0 and others from 1, and then the
mga driver needs another screen line to indicate heads :-( )
to be clear whether you have got this right.

I haven't had my hands on a G series Matrox for several months,
so can't suggest anything else.
