I'm having a similar setup (same Matrox card). Try fbxine after setting 
the environment variable DFBARGS either globally, or just use a wrapper 
script "fbx" for fbxine like I'm doing:


htpc ~ # cat /usr/local/bin/fbx
#!/bin/bash
DFBARGS="matrox-crtc2,primary-layer=2" /usr/bin/fbxine --verbose=5 -d $@

You may also add the -A and -V switches to the wrapper script, unless 
you specify them when calling "fbx"...

Regards,
Lucian
