I will post the patch if it works for you. An issue here is that these drivers calls fb_set_par() function (or part of it as the sisfb driver) but the register_framebuffer() calls the fb_set_par() also after all structures are set up. There should be no need to call the fb_set_par() just before the register_framebuffer(). The matroxfb driver is quite far from standard driver framework by now. I vote for fixing it by adding this early initialization of the mm_mutex for now.
