Hi there,

I have a dual screen configuration working by following http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/12835.html

here's my lspci:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400/G450 (rev 82)
        Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. Device 0641
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
        Memory at fdefc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M]
        Expansion ROM at fd800000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: matrox_w1
        Kernel modules: matrox_w1, matroxfb_base

and I have attached the xorg.conf.

I have installed mga 1.9.100 following the link provided by Martjin. This didn't work for me. However, since I have been messing about with the configuration and drivers of X11 for a few hours now, I may have a part in the result, or not, I have no idea...

Good luck everybody. It's a bit of a pain, eh?
