FYI
Just installed 6.1-RELEASE
RELEASE installs xorg-server-6.8.99.903 (RC 3)
No problem, applied the routine on xorg-server-6.9.0_3, getting used to it.
Surprise, surprise!
IS NOW - RELEASE

Something changed in the toolchain apparently, drivers are not
interchangeable. No error in the Xorg.0.log, but the screen was black.
In summary:
- drivers are not portable over any toolchain when compiled with the
default on GENERIC
- I cannot test HAL adequacy for TV output, Andre told me it does not work.
- We both cannot open a text console.
- I can use other monitors beyond the first one (aka master, aka
default), all what I needed. Rem, Matrox sources still are xorg-6.8.2.
Have fun!
