I do not see how this should work with vidix, especialy as the kernel
patch is totaly unrelated to how vidix works. Vidix accesses the graphics
card directly, the same way as mga_vid does (actualy it's a port of
mga_vid to the vidix interface).

IIRC there is a whole section in the MPlayer documentation on how
to get TV-Out with matrox cards, did you had a look at that?
(No, i've never tried it myself as i do not own a TV)
Also the Mailinglist archives on gmane might help.
