Any help would be awesome.

the recent kernels deals with X now and most of the old xorg.conf conflict (watch logs for errors, that can help)

maybe you can try renaming xorg.conf for testing without it and rebuilt one with X -configure, or try Nouveau

you can test with the latest packages from this ppa:

Thanks but I saw that nouveau does not support Matrox cards so still at the orginal issue
