It does appear that the magic sysrq key combinations work when the system appears normal but trying to change to another console, <ctrl><alt><Fn> locks the system up solid and the sysrq combinations then no longer work.
Can anyone offer any pointers as to what to try next please?
Faulty hardware? or maybe the Bios version on your graphics card is old and perhaps has problems with the newer version of X, maybe the Bios on the motherboard needs updating also, Is the card agp or pci?
I would try taking out the Matrox now and try getting X working with the Ati card to try and discount it being anything else wrong with the system.
