Yes, most likely.

A friend that also got a G400 told me that he had gotten it to work in 
2.6.10. He didnt have the orginal archive and didnt remember where he got 
it from, but he did a tar.gz for me. That version worked DIRECTLY! I was so 
suprised. TV-out worked aswell.

[root@flashdance dev]# ll mga*

It uses 83 as major number.

It isnt your version and it appears that it isnt this version
http://www.linuxops.net/~pw/mga_vid/ either because I download it and
it didnt compile.

He also said that this version didnt work on 2.6.11 which he was running 
now so I gave him the link for your version and that worked on 2.6.11.
Probably (but not certain) your version will work on 2.6.11 SMP also.

Since I avoid to switch kernel (new kernel = new possible problems) if I 
can I'll stick to this version until I really need to upgrade.

This is the contens of his tar.gz if anyone knows where it cames from:
