I can not work yet on this bug. Maybe I have it, but, I have tons of other X problems. Two are very ennoying, and prevent me working on the MGA one:
- when X (1.5) starts, it freeses the box (no more ping) => reset
- after reboot, I have no log file anywhere => no way to know what happened.

As long as I dont have logs, I can not comment here. I think launching over ssh will NOT help (too many caches every where in IP layers).

What I can say is that ... I am pretty sure X 1.5 does not take care any more about the conf file. I can also say that I have several Matrox, and one non matrox card; and that, whether I tell the conf to use xinerama or not, I have bugs; but, as it does not read the conf ... and I dont get any log ...

even things like (forgot what I typed exactly)
X -- verbose --debug >>/root/log 2>&1
X freeses immediatly (less than 2s), so, the inode cache is not written on disk. So, even stdout>disk does not work (X freeses the kernel before the ext3 5s auto-sync).
