This still affects up-to-date Intreprid i386/Desktop. Please reopen

I have a Matrox G200 card. X comes up fine on first X startup when booting, ending up at a screen resolution
of 1024x768 (that is ok). However when logging out/restarting the X server I end up in what I believe is called "bulletproof X". It shows me the error message

(EE) MGA(0): Static buffer allocation failed, not initializing the DRI
(EE) MGA( 0): Need at least 9xxx kB video memory at this resolution

and asks on how to proceed. There is no way to recover except for a complete reboot.
