I think that it works only by accident for you. At first, remove 'vga=790'.
At second, do not compile vesafb driver into kernel. If you have
compiled in both vesafb and matroxfb, both drivers try to drive same
hardware - vesafb as fb0, matroxfb as fb1. But matroxfb switches MGA
to MGA-mode and it is not guaranteed that you should see anything from
vesafb output from that point.

matroxfb videomodes are selected through 'video=matrox:XXXxYYY-BPP@FV'
or with 'video=matrox:mode:XXXxYYY-BPP@FV' or 'video=matrox:vesa:MMMM'
or ..., but not with 'vga=QQQ' - it is vgacon/vesafb selection.
