Not specially this, but Matrox is in my list of "buggy BIOS, W95 drivers", S3 cards (specially Virge) are in the list too. After a lot of report of this class I learnt that it's normally a problem in the board BIOS or in the W95 drivers. Recently I found an interesting thing about SVGA text modes in S3 cards, the planes value is reported with a different meaning to the value reported by most of the boards. So perhaps here you have another thing like it. One interesting thing is that you say that the mouse fails when is drawed by the driver .... hmmmm ... download RHIDE 1.4.7 first, then tell me if it persist. About the green screen: If you really want to see a workaround for it (because I think is something in the drivers) you can just download Turbo Vision 1.0.3 from the v2tk directory (sources) and compile the library and one of the examples to see if it can be reproduced, if you can reproduce it we can try to find the source of the problem.
