If you could pass this through ksymoops and/or match with System.map?

If you did not apply
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/multihead.gz patch to kernel,
it is not worth to report any problem with multihead oops if you at least
once run fbset and/or con2fb. Due to missing checks in fbmem code it can
cause call to fb's procedure with framebuffer information of different
framebuffer. After applying this patch, such attempts are refused by
'-EXDEV' error code (patch was built for 2.3.48; if you will not be able
to apply it by hand, mail me and I'll regenerate it from my current
2.3.99-pre6-3).
To be able to change videomodes of non-foreground console you'll have to
apply ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/fbset-2.1-addon.gz
to your fbset 2.1 sources. It adds parameter '-vt X' to your fbset, where
X == -1 for default videomode, 0 for foreground VT and 1..63 for
specific VT.
