And did you enable framebuffer console support in Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Console display driver support -> Framebuffer Console Support ? It looks to me like that you did not enabled this, and so you get hardware in graphics mode (when fbdev loads), but no text there (as there is no fbcon in your kernel). 2.6.x kernel has strange idea that non-embedded users need fbdev without fbcon by default... I'm not aware about any problems with matroxfb driver in Linus kernel except that you should use 'video=matroxfb:nopan' to avoid problems with default resolution XXXx65536 (or clip vyres yourself to reasonable value). Of course all 2.6.x fbdev limits apply also to matroxfb driver. If you want interface compatible with 2.4.x, you'll have to get patch from ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/matroxfb-2.6.0.gz (only vgacon, matroxfb and vesafb are tested).
