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,
