I thought that I was going crazy or that it was just my inability to configure things correctly, but it is kind of comforting to see that I'm not the only one seeing problems with XFree86 4.0.2 + matrox + kernel 2.2.18 (UP system -- an AMD Duron with chipset KT133).
When X 4.0.2 entered the Debian testing distribution, I immediately upgraded (I had used X 4.0.1 before with very good results, but that system had an HD crash and I reinstalled Debian potato, that comes with X 3.3.6). I got all these strange Segfaults and crashes with a vanilla 2.2.18 kernel. I went back to X 3.3.6 and everything is running perfectly fine since then, but I'd like to use the new features of X 4.
