I have a Matrox Mystique running X (without framebuffer) and framebuffer console (mga) without any problems. Back in April, a cursor being a large box in X was mentioned and adding "HWCursor no" to the Device section of your XF86Config-4 was suggested, although my XF86Config-4 does not have that in it.
