It should not change anything if X are not visible - X released video card ownership when they switched back to text console, but they keep banging adapter (they switch it to color depth X are using, reprogram line length to the value they use, and foreground/background colors to values they use) although matroxfb now has ownership. Maybe you should try whether crash happens if you boot with 'video=matroxfb:noaccel', but as you said that it occurs without DRI too, it is not source of problem.
