Hm, maybe there's a chance to get support for this graphics card. Send a mail to misc@openbsd.org: write a message like "Hi. Why my Matrox MGA G200 is not supported?" and insert your full dmesg output, full sysctl output and full Xorg.0.log in that message. Note that you should send plain text and write 72 characters per line (dmesg and sysctl outputs and Xorg.0.log are exceptions). The subject should be like "Is Matrox G200 supported?" or "Matrox G200 support" or "Matrox G200: AIGLX: reverting to software rendering". The reason why they don't support that graphics card may be diffrent: irrelevant device (but I don't think this graphics card is irrelevant, because you have it), vendor didn't document device and provides blobs, vendor didn't document device and don't provide firmware, it's driver is distributed under GNU GPL license and so on.
