I had the same problems with my ancient Matrox Mystique (Monitor shows frequency out of range)

I solved it by turning on the ShadowFB option:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG Mystique]"
        Driver "mga"
        BusID "PCI:0:12:0"
        Option "ShadowFB" "true"
        Option "OldDmaInit" "True"
EndSection

(The OldDmaInit options seems not to matter)

I had to specify the HorizSync and VertRefresh options for my monitor.
Now it works with a resolution of "1024x768" and a Depth of 16.

I had the same problem when installing Dapper.
