may be
<me sucks>
how should i change the settings to valid ones with matroxset/fbset ?
</me sucks>

>Do you  have correctly setup CRTC <-> output mappings by 'matroxset'?

yes,
it works with X using fbdriver(2 independant heads), after loading the
modules
swapped from the matroxset tarball is runned, in the case with multiple
fb consoles  it blanks both heads - the first can be activated/ unblanked 
by console switch (ctrl-alt-Fx), the second remains blank :( 
(
multiple fb consoles were tested without starting X,
multiple X was used with single fbconsole & 1 dumb console
)

<me sucks<
why haven't i tried to use X to configure properly crtc2
</me sucks>
