That is more strings than Red Hat 8.0, but I suspect that Mandrake
have also disabled support for the Matrox binary HAL.
If you have the source I suggest that you recompile mga_drv.o
comparing with the cvs version - try the one at as a starter:
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_driver.c?rev=1.231&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
