I use my own build CVS-X but that should not matter. You maybe use the Debian-
packages of X 4.0.1, if so that should be ok. I mean it is ok but I just can't
tell you my experience about those packages as I use my own build with pentium-
optimizations etc. and HALLib with the G400-driver. Furthermore I can't say
anything about linux-2.2 DRI issues as I use 2.4.0-testX.
Anyways, you just have to do a "XFree86 -configure" to autodetect your X-config
basic-stuff. This places the file somewhere in your current-dir.
Then you should edit it by hand before copying it to the right place like
setting the permissions stuff for DRI and your Fonts-Dirs, Mouse, etc.
If you did that then just put it at the right place and make sure you load the
kernel-module mga.o before starting X (preferably with all other modules or how
you like it better - your choice).
This should be it, if you need config-files etc. please let me know.
Hope this helps, sorry that I don't have time to find some URL for you to read
more on this issue, sorry.
