What does dmesg say?
Does it have any errors regarding the framebuffer?

Sounds to me like framebuffer didn't load for some reason.
Do you get the penguin logo on boot?

My dmesg output says:

matroxfb: Matrox Millennium G200 (AGP) detected
matroxfb: MTRR's turned on
matroxfb: 1152x900x32bpp (virtual: 1152x1819)
matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xDF000000, mapped to 0xd0005000, size 8388608
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 144x56
fb0: MATROX VGA frame buffer device

Everything else you've posted checks out (device major/minor etc)
