Hello..
I can only admit that i also know this problem.
I run a RH7.1 on a dual-PIII/850 with a Matrox G400/16MB, and i also had several crashes of X, mostly when Netscape runs, but some without it.
What i did: I changed the default colourdepth from 24 to 16 and i got the "original" mga.o-modules from www.matrox.com.
But this did not help, i suffered a crash some days ago again, but this time i had a logentry, it said:
--------- Sep 12 13:14:27 falcon kernel: [drm] Process 850 dead (ctx 1, d_s = 0x00) ---------
I run XFree 4.0.3 and have enabled the Matrox-Options in the Kernel under "Character devices - Support for Matrox g200/g400", but this did not help either.
Another problem i got by using the modules from "matrox.com", i cannot switch between consoles and X anymore, if i switch back to X several times (one time usually is ok), the whole machine crashes, i have to reboot via SysRq and even that does not work everytime. But this is related to the "mga.o"-module from matrox, i hadnt this effect with the mga.o from XFree86.
Solong.. Frank.
