Yes, I'll fix that. Arpi pointed that out to me when I backported IRQ support to the 2.4.x. Just adding
EXPORT_SYMBOL(matroxfb_enable_irq);
at the end of drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c does the trick.

Try building matroxfb into the kernel. I believe that current VT system does not take over console anymore if fbdev is loaded after fbcon, but I never tested it myself. Petr Vandrovec
