Hello Tormod.

This was the first time I tested Matrox dual-head with Ubuntu. I'm not 100% sure if i remember that correctly, but I think it worked correctly with Mageia 2. Of course they could have completely different component versions and local patches. I tried to figure out what component the issue lies in by testing an ATI Radeon 7000 card with dual-head in the same computer and it worked without problems. Both screens worked correctly and I could manage them with xrandr ... so .... I believe it must be the MGA driver. As the Xorg guys still doing enhancements and forget to redesign drivers dependent on removed obsolete features, it's kinda expectable. Anyway, according to the manuals on the Internet, this feature worked correctly in the past.

If you have any questions or request, don't hesitate to ask. I'm willing to do any tests, if you want.

Thanks and regards,
Jaromir.
