haha, I slaved over this same configuration for a whole day, the
problem I had was that the g400 only works properly in completely
unaccelerated mode and even then I need to start, then kill, then
restart X to get it initialised properly.
here's my XF86Config entry for the g400:
Section "Device"
Identifier "MGA400 AGP"
Chipset "mgag400"
Driver "mga"
VideoRam 32768
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NoAccel"
Option "NoHWCursor"
EndSection
best of luck,
