  The UseFBDev option was added to X so it can cooperate with fbcon (ie,

  own way of restoring its own state so the UseFBDev option is not needed, 
  and in
  your case, is counterproductive.
 
 Aha, didn't know that.  It had been my impression that this option meant
 using the fbdev API for all vidcard access;

It does, for the things the fbdev API provides.

   [powerpc] screen garbage when using matroxfb acceleration
 
 this is on powerpc64 though, so it may be some 64-bitness issue.

Yes.  Reading that bug report, the problem is specific to matroxfb's
hardware acceleration. Petr Vandrovec is the best person for this
problem.
