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
Thank you Andy. You are right re: the RANDR I think its an upstream issue. I
will try to open a bug report for mga upstream and add it to this bug.
Once again thank you, I will test the new stuff out asap and report back.

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
I finally got the whole source package building/PPA thing working
properly. I've put an mga package in my ppa with the nicer fix in it.
It works without the libpciaccess patch and is running fine on my
machine.

Thank you for your patch. New driver works good.
Unfortunately I must setup ServerLayout section in my xorg.conf for this. So, I
can't use autodetection feature and change resolution applet.
If I don't setup ServerLayout, I get next text in the xorg.log and the server
crashes.

Yeah I got the same issue... didnt really try to troubleshoot other than
look through the log files.

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

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,
How to install the old xorg distribution:

2. sudo aptitude install --without-recommends xserver-xorg=1:7.3+10ubuntu10
I got the version by looking at the output of: aptitude -v show
Johannes,
Thanks for the good news there! Could you perhaps post a brief 'how-to'
for non-experts to install the old xorg distribution, please? Assume we
have no X display :-( but are quite happy using apt-get, etc. What
package do we remove (just 'xorg' ??) and what changes are required to
