It looks like it was broken when they changed the driver to use libpciaccess to map memory regions instead of using the old xf86MapPciMem calls. There are two problems: - It tries to map the card's IO and iload regions twice, once for each head. libpciaccess doesn't like having two mappings for the same PCI region in the same device so it gives back EINVAL and this causes the breakage. I took out the check in pci_device_map_range in libpciaccess and this worked OK. - The new code maps the whole framebuffer into both heads because it uses region-base_addr and region-size instead of pMga-FBAddress and pMga-FbMapSize. This makes both displays draw onto a single monitor and it all looks very silly. I changed that in the mga driver and it works fine now.

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 with G450 Matrox, and came upon this issue. - I tried running patch from #100, but this didn't work at all. - I then applied patch manually. This then built a mga_drv.so file that allowed me to boot into the GUI. I then tried countless versions of the xorg.conf, but the second monitor attached to the DVI never seemed to work. Until I logged out instead of restarting the machine. I was always trying out my changes by restarting the machine. And this never worked. But if I log in with an xorg.conf set up for single monitor mode, copy over xorg.conf with one set up for dual monitor mode, then log out, hey presto - both monitors are working at the login screen. Hope this bit of info helps anyone figure out what is going on. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am *very* new to all of this, but I did manage to get the Maxtor G450 working in Dual Monitor mode on 9.10 I used the exact instructions as Petr's above but changed both the ChipSet values to 'mga400' and the HorizSync and VertRefresh values as seen in the xorg.conf file that I attached. Before changing the sync and refresh the second monitor at horizontal ribbons running across it. The screen boots with an odd rectangle in the upper left, but that disappears. The resolution on Screen 1 needs to be reset for my monitor I think, but I have two almost acceptable monitors now. More work needs to be done. Thank you to everyone! I hope this post is okay. It's my first on any linux forum. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44401374/xorg.conf -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

to jo and all whichfind it useful, here is the description of what I did: I have a standard Ubuntu 9.10 installation - xserver-xorg-video-mga, version 1:1.4.11.dfsg-1, my adapter is Matrox Millenium G550 (Matrox Graphics, Inc.

I downloaded patched driver from here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32153149/mga_drv.so and copied it to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ (after backing up the original version). Then I created xorg.conf (attached). You probably have to change HorizSync and VertRefresh lines according to your monitors specifications. For the first try you don't need them at all. You also don't need the Display subsections at the begining, I added them when it already worked, just to set up preferred resolutions. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44287141/xorg.conf -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292214] Re: Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA
Unfortunately these solutions do not work for me (on a G550). I tried Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04 Beta2 with and without the patch. Without the patch I always get the same picture on both screens. With the patch (tried only 8.04 - 9.10, not 10.04 Beta2), my monitor at the DVI port turns off (standby) and the monitor at the VGA port stays on with a black screen. The system freezes I think, because I cannot do anything, not even switch to a different console (CTRL+ALT+F1). On the boot process I always have to include 'vga=0x31a' to kernel parameters because otherwise the DVI port monitor shows out of sync (even when I 'force' the correct settings in xorg.conf), and the VGA port monitor stays off. Any suggestions very welcome. Could it be that it works for some because of different hardware (mainboard, RAM etc)?

Hello... I've been avidly trying to apply solutions in this thread - so far to no avail. New to Linux and have Mint 7 [which I think is based on ubuntu jaunty]... so I thought all this might work. I have the following PPA's in my Synaptic repositories http://ppa.launchpad.net/andy-ub1/ppa/ubuntu/ http://ppa.launchpad.net/bryceharrington/ppa/ubuntu/ They're successfully integrated into Synaptic - and I think the relevant packages are downloaded/installed. But I don't know where else to look to make sure this is the case. At least Synaptic Package Manager says they are installed, i.e. xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.4.9dfsg- 3ubuntu1~bug292214 I also tweaked my xorg.conf file to mirror somebody else in this thread who reported success (attached). Again, I'm new to Linux. After an XP crash on an MS Update, I'm very keen to get Linux working in order to run XP as a virtual machnine. But right off the bat I can't get my Matrox G450 to work. The Display thing in the Control Center doesn't do anything (at least no indication of dual head functionality). This experience has forced me to learn a lot... and yet, I'm obviously missing something.

Yes, I saw the mga_hal comment. The mga_hal is a binary only part of the driver which gets loaded in to perform certain functions on certain mga cards.

Zaist: The mga_hal error you've got is generated if the driver decides it needs the HAL using this macro: #define MGA_DH_NEEDS_HAL(x) (((x)-Chipset == PCI_CHIP_MGAG400) \ ((x)-ChipRev 0x80)) In other words for some revisions of the MGA 400 chip family you need to use the binary mga_hal module to make dualhead mode work.

The second monitor looks out of sync (diagonal lines, distorted picture), and when I swtich back to console mode, the screen resolution on the second monitor is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (according to the monitor's status screen). Both monitors should be running at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The primary monitor seems to be correct in that regard, and the second monitor _reports_ that it is getting set to that resolution/refresh rate, but something must not be reporting correctly. I've also tried mergedFB, but it fails when it complains it cannot load mga_hal. Since I am using a PCI G550 (I think it might be dual DVI, but I am using the monitors in analog mode), I didn't think the driver was supposed to try to load mga_hal. In any case, mga_hal is not installed. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I wonder if the framebuffer for the second head is too small. By default you only get 8Mb for it and you've a high resolution display. Have you tried using Option Crtc2Half true in the device section for both heads? That should split the framebuffer more evenly and might make the second head work better. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292214] Re: Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA
Using Andy's patched package, I am able to get both screens up again, but the second monitor is distorted like there is a sync problem. However, the monitor is reporting that the signals are correct. I am using a G550 Dual head with two Dell 2005FPW monitors at 1680x1050. If I force the second monitor to a different resolution (like 1280x1024), then it will display, but it is distorted due to the wrong aspect ratio. Also, even though I can move windows over to that side, it's almost like the desktop doesn't extend that far. There are no backgrounds or any context menus from the desktop there. Of course, this all worked fine before updating from Hardy to Intrepid. Other things I've noticed: Control panel for the display crashes (saw that with KDE4 in Hardy), X -configure does not work with mga driver, mga_hal_drv doesn't like to load. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see the same RANDR behaviour here, it works in single head mode but not in multi-head. Doing 'xdpyinfo |grep RANDR' shows the extension present in one case but not the other. I don't think this is anything to do with my patch though, we have an Ubuntu 8.04 machine here that behaves in exactly the same way. As far as I can tell 3D acceleration works just fine in dual head mode. Previous versions of the driver used to only render the 3d on one of the two heads and if you moved a 3d window to the other head it went blank. This version runs glxgears fine for me at 115 FPS. I have Option AccelMode EXA in both of my Device sections but I don't know if this is necessary. It doesn't seem to be Compiz capable though, I get 'The Composite extension is not available', so no funky rippling water effects for this desktop. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292214] Re: Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA
Here is a better patch for the mga driver which doesn't require the changes to libpciaccess. This one eliminates the duplicate mappings and counts how many heads are using mapping to prevent unmapping too early. It also fixes a bug I found where the i2c monitor detection on the second head leaves mappings behind forever. I think this is a reasonably good way to fix the problem and it works fine on my machine. I'm no expert on matrox cards or Xorg drivers though so, as before, use with caution. ** Attachment added: Much nicer patch to fix multihead support http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19595197/mga-driver-2.patch -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 292214] Re: Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA
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. -- Xinerama broken since intrepid on MGA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is strange for me, that Xrandr doesn't work in the patched driver. I see (==) RandR enabled for both screens in the Xorg.0.log. Additionally there is a line (II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR. So, all should work accordingly to the log. But, when I run simple utility xrandr, it tell me, that xrandr doesn't work. May be it happens only due to the ServerLayout section?... For original 1.4.9 driver I see the same strings in the log (single head mode) and xrandr utility works fine. And one more question.
