I got the same problem with matrox mystique 170 (the older one, using xsvga-server). I think the difference between yours and mine problem is, that the "mysterious" does not happen to me every time I switch from X to the console. I noticed this very often by switching from X to console while kdm/xdm is coming up.
Greetings, Dietmar
