i don't have enabled dri, as i read that there might be problems with
matroxfb, dri and x.

i'll try to get an oops trace and some further debugging information.

so you mean that you patch doesn't fix the bug? on irc in #kernelnewbies
on irc.kernelnewbies.org i got the information, that your backport fixes
at least this bug behaviour. but it might have been a liar, don't know.
he also said, that matroxfb in 2.6 is very unstable while being
distributed as stable. in 2.4 it was tagged as experimental.
