Hello Florian,
Is this with kernel 2.6.x or 2.4.x?
I remember there were some problems with Matrox cards, that were
initially not included in the 2.4.x low-latency patch, but I thought
that at some point Andrew included them.

Hi,
thanks for your mail. It seems though that this is independent of the kernel version. I
booted into 2.4.22 with LL+preempt and it shows the exact same behaviour as did 2.6.7
vanilla, 2.6.7-bk10-ck5-H3 and 2.6.8-rc1-mm1... I think the card is just not good..
I'm also wondering about the weird lspci -v output which reports no latency for the
matrox card [and it's not bus master like all other pci devices i have]..
one other thing to try: be sure in you XF86Config you have
PciRetry set to off. From man mga:
Option "PciRetry" "boolean"
Enable or disable PCI retries. Default: off.
