I'm using my 'pciorder' patch I sent around couple of times...
'pciorder=1:00.0,0:0b.0,0:0f.0' and it's done. And with
old fbmem you can set order with 'video=fbdev_name:' option...
matroxfb itself does not allow you to reorder different MGA devices in
box - they are initialized in PCI order (which can be changed with
my pciorder patch which others do not like...).
