Okay, that mostly matches me (though I'm on test10 since I'm lazy...)

Right, nor does it exist on mine... but my acceleration works fine
(tuxracer is unplayable without it :)).
The driver you want is just above all that:
(II) MGA: driver for Matrox chipsets: mga2064w, mga1064sg, mga2164w,
mga2164w AGP, mgag100, mgag100 PCI, mgag200, mgag200 PCI, mgag400
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset mgag400 found

Do you have a bunch of noise from DRM?
(==) MGA(0): Write-combining range (0xce000000,0x1000000)
(--) MGA(0): 16 DWORD fifo
(==) MGA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(II) MGA(0): [drm] bpp: 16 depth: 16
(II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2196+632: 2828

(II) MGA(0): [drm] Registers = 0xcd000000

etc etc...
