I am using the 1.4.7 version (not the patched 1.4.7,1
version)of the mga driver; 1.9.100 did not work correctly
for me.

Problems encountered with the 1.9.100 version:
When leaving X (I'm using Fluxbox wm) going to console mode,
and restarting X, my screen mode dimensions would be
distorted. It should have returned to 1024x768, but
appeared closer to 800x600.

I returned to the original xf86-video-mga-1.4.7 and
everything seems fine.  Not sure if this helps, but figured
I would add to the discussion, for-what-its-worth. :-)

Other current system info:
FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE
xorg-7.3_1
