Hm, that is correct, no #ifdef's around the MOD_XXX_USE_COUNT. From the 
article, I gather it's safe to just delete those lines (for 2.6). It 
now compiled, modprobed successfully, and found my G400. It seems to 
work, too, without any OOPS, but I only tested a 30 second low res clip 
so far :-)
mga_vid claims interrupts disabled, but the IRQ continues to advance at 
a rate equal to the refresh rate of my monitor. I guess X is receiving 
those interrupts, though, or DRI.... 

So to sum it up, the tar.gz of mga_vid, after some modifications, works 
much better than current CVS
