Some random things you can try are 1) move the card into different slots
and see if it works there, 2) disable most of your modules in your
XF86Config file, and 3) try

Option     "Int10" "False"

in in your XF86Config file in the 'Device' Section when using your matrox
card.

I really have no idea if these will actually help - X and various cards
seem to be hit and miss on alpha and some combination of these things
helped me get my millenium II card working.
