If you search freedesktop.org bugzilla for BadAlloc and matrox, you'll find
a known bug in the memory manager in certain X.org versions. I grepped
my local mailbox for the bugid but I don't seem to have that email anymore,
and I don't have www access at the moment, so I can't give direct link to
the bug number in question :-(

It manifests itself quicker on graphics cards with smaller memory, and when
running fat bloated desktops which stuff the card full of pixmaps.
