I know that at least recent matrox bioses only have up to 800x600 modes
in bios, so if you your card's bios, there is no help. Please run the
program vbetest (in lrmi-0.6m subdirectory), which lists all available
vesa modes.

That's intresting. Does the same thing happen in all color depths?
Can you try with a CRT monitor, to see if it happens the same?
Can you send me (not to the list) a photo of the wrong vgatest image?
Does XFree86 (not nvidia's driver) work ok?
