After digging a bit in the archives I couldn't find the solution to my problem, so I'm asking you guys.
It is bug in matroxfb. I sent patch to Linus already, but it did not found its way through his email filters yet. I'll try again...
Hmmm, I found the patch, but that didn't help. (I suspect you're talking about the matroxfb-2.5.72 patch mentioned on the list)
No, I was talking about URL I gave you - matroxfb-novt.gz.
matroxfb-2.5.72 does completely different things, and in your headless and keyboardless situation it can make situation only worse.

I found the keyboard setting, after which the VT support came available. Wierd that I didn't find it myself, as my laptop has no problems with 2.6 (accept that I need to recompile the pcmcia package) and it's not using a framebuffer.
I do not believe that you are using your laptop without keyboard and you did not notice it yet.
