The log Some random things you can try are 1) move the card into different slots and see if it works there, 2) disable most of your modules in your XF86Config file, and 3) try Option "Int10" "False" in in your XF86Config file in the 'Device' Section when using your matrox card. I really have no idea if these will actually help - X and various cards seem to be hit and miss on alpha and some combination of these things helped me get my millenium II card working.
