Here is what i have done :
Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer to comment (by adding a leading #) the line about matroxfb_base :
#blacklist matroxfb_base
This way, the matroxfb_base module will be loaded automatically at boot time.
As it is stated in the header of this file, this can "cause suspend failures, kernel panics and general mayhem."
So before doing this check you have an ubuntu live CD by hand in order to reverse this modification if anything goes really bad.
Hope it works for you as it works for me. But as we have different cards, i can warranty you anything.
