Matrox's BIOS only supports up to 800x600 resolution, so higher modes
are not supported by the vesa driver.
In the latest pre-release (1.4.3 or 1.9.8) there is a new driver I wrote
for the G200/G400/G450. Currently I know it works on G450, but I am also
almost certain it won't work on G200. If you want to help me getting it
to work on G200, please download any of these releases, install, edit
the config file to not include any chipset line, and run vgatest with
the output redirected to a file, select mode 10. Then send to me the
file, a description of what the screen looked like, whether or not text
mode was restored successfuly, and the output of lspci -nv.
