 Have you really tried this procedure with Xorg-6.9.0? I did
 but the resulting two files don't work. At least not if you
 really use features which need the presence of mga_hal_drv.so.
 If I remove mga_hal_drv.so and use only mga_drv.so, the server
 starts but without the HAL features of course. If the HAL
 module is there as well, the server dies with signal 10.
 Possibly, something changed in 6.9.0 which needs to be adapted
 in the mga-sources but these are available only for 6.8.2.
 
 However, I was able to build the two modules as outlined in
 http://forum.matrox.com/mga/viewtopic.php?t=19868 (the same
 post as you mentioned) under Xorg-6.9.0 using the 4.2.0
 src package from Matrox and they work:
