Why can't you just use 4.0.2 with the drivers which are available at
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_05.cfm. I'm afraid

As anyone following the "BYOX" thread will be aware, I've just
successfully built xserver debs for XFree 4.0.99.1. I had two reasons

The following process works (after a very long build process) to get
xfree86 4.0.99.1 debs. They seem to work (I'm running with
xserver-xfree86 and xserver-common from these now) but I make absolutely
no claims as to quality. I did all of this as root, which is naughty but
it worked.
