do you mean that compiling actually works with matrox's code?  if so,
that is good.  i would have guessed that either there would be no
source code for the proprietary modules or compiling would work about
as well as their install script (i.e. not).

if so, though, then why isn't the dvi-capable mga driver available in
non-free?  just nobody got around to it?
