fbtv expects the tty being really a linux console and this is needed for
console switch handling (i.e. turn off the video if you switch to
another vt, ...).

I've never tested fbtv on a dual-head matrox.

Why don't you setup X11 multiheaded and run xawtv on the second screen?
I'd expect that works better.
