SubjectRe: 2.4.x SMP blamed for Xfree 4.0 crashes

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.
