what mga and xorg version are you running?

did the xorg upgrade lately help?
No.
Even worse - my investigations caused temporary monitor failure :(
Cooling about 10 minutes turned it to an operational state.
I see that my problem is probably in the framebuffer code.
Facts that I found:
1) I managed to start X with kernel 2.6.25 adding vga=9 parameter.
2) With FB default (almost empty) config X switches off my monitor
(probably a symptom of to high frequency)
- ctr-alt-bakspace properly terminates X
- ctr-alt-{+,-} give no visible effects
- ctr-alt-Fn isn't able to switch to VT
I'm sure: a sequence ctr-alt-F1 ctr-alt-bakspace terminates X
- the monitor failure was provoked with this procedure
- on tty1 I wrote: sleep 10; DISPLAY=:0 xvidtune -show
- on tty2: X
Then monitor had switch off (power-on LED green-yellow) as expected :(
and after some delay I saw (LED was still yellow) a violet color on
screen.
System was locked. After reset monitor had a temporary failure.
3) With FB and my config (I've appended it at the end) all modes that I've
tried have a wrong (to low) frequency, for expample
- declared 75 Hz, xvidtune displays 75
- ctrl-panel on monitor (and an visual apperance) gives 49 Hz
- switching VT's works
4) At boot time FB causes 30 seconds delay at ide1 probe:

Bug#479652: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: xorg problem with 2.6.24/25
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-6
Severity: important
Hi
I have Athlon XP on Gigabyte GA-7ZX MB and Matrox MGA450.
I have no problems running linux-image-2.6.22-3-k7
With newest 2.6.2{4,5}-1-686 can't start xserver in proper
frequency range.
I've tested with:
- fresh xorg.conf - CRT monitor switches off
- my old xorg.conf - 48 Hz vertical (where 2.6.22 gives 75 Hz)
diff of Xorg.0.logs 2.6.22 v 2.6.24 gives only (with my conf):
313c313
