I believe it is common to all systems where the initialization code (BIOS, 
FCODE, etc.) doesn't leave the card in a completely viable state.  It's not a 
DVI-specific thing in that I still can't get any DVI signals, but it does appear 
from my tests that this line is the most significant line in the patch:

+                matroxfb_DAC_out(PMINFO M1064_XDVICLKCTRL, 0);

And, I got some hints from Matrox.  :-)
