Ok. So you do not have framebuffer modules installed on the system. I suggest you upgrade to kernel 2.4.20 and try to get the framebuffer modules. I don't know if you have told your Linux distribution, but I think most major ones would have the fb modules available as rpm (or deb) package. If not, then you can always make your own kernel, but it is whole another story then how.

After you get framebuffer working, you can insert a line Option "UseFBDev" under the line "Driver mga".
root@cervell:/home/felip# grep fbdev /etc/modules.conf alias fbdev matroxfb_base
this is ok.
What do you think? Is it serious, doctor? :>)
No, unless you really want to use framebuffer.
