--- Comment #18 from Stefan Dirsch
The use of mga_hal isn't supported by xf86-video-mga - it hasn't worked in ages.
It did for me until commit 074a4aa1985219910a96b022368067e3ed5641e6. I bisected it. Apparently I need to debug and fix the issue myself. Would have been much more easier for one, who knows the code by heart.
The randr-1.2 branch of xf86-video-mga.git supports most of the modesetting features that mga_hal offered, btw, though it's not finished as you probably know :|
Unfortunately a typical RANDR 1.2 setup (side-by-side) never worked for me on G550 when using this driver branch. There hasn't been a single commit since Fri Jan 18 2008. My impression was you gave up on implementing RANDR 1.2 in mga. Classical Xinerama setup (without MergedFB) with mga driver is also broken. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441070 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210988 So what's the recommendation to a Matrox user, who wants to use both outputs?
