Thanks for the feedback, that's a silly mistake in the patch. The patched version of the driver ONLY works with a dual head setup, it can't be used when there's only 1 screen or you get a NULL deref. Should have thought of that really. Will do another one tomorrow (my home PC doesn't have a matrox card) and try it with a single head setup as well.

Incidentally I believe the autodetect and screen resolution applet rely on an XRandR extension which isn't present in this driver. The first comment in the bug claims this is in a newer version of the driver but not in this version. I think that means that without a ServerLayout section you'll only ever get single head mode with this version of the driver.
