It's not complicated, but you /must/ follow directions.  Get the 2.2.18-ide 
kernel image from /debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.2.18-i386/ on a Debian 
mirror.  The actual package name is kernel-image-2.2.18-ide_2.2.18-1_i386.deb.  
You need this kernel to make sure it works, because it has special Matrox FB 
acceleration stuffs built in; I still haven't figured out which ones...

Get the mga_drv.o module from Matrox, the latest one possible.  It can be found 
in binary form here:

ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2001/beta_1_00_04/

Use the official XFree86 4.0.2 debs, with this kernel image, and this module.  
I used XFree86 -configure to generate an XF86Config-4 file, but that needs a 
bit of hand-trimming as well.  If you like, I can send you a copy of my file.

HTH.
