Looking at your log, I see you are not using the Matrox drivers;
they would report as follows:
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//mga_drv.so
(II) Module mga: vendor="Matrox Graphics Inc. - x86_32 - Release v4.4.0"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.2.1
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8

Make sure mga_drv.so and mga_hal_drv.so from the matrox drivers are
installed in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers (backup your old
xorg mga_drv.so) and give the autoconfiguration a try (X -configure),
it worked fine for me.

See here:

I have these errors, too, but they are not fatal (at least I didn't
notice anything fatal).
