I just discovered that Debian and Ubuntu carry a patch which changes related code, and I wonder if this patch is at fault. It looks like it was introduced after 10.04. Can you please try to rebuild the package without this patch? sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-mga apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-mga cd xserver-xorg-video-mga-* sed -i '/^02_/s/^/#/' debian/patches/series debuild -b -us -uc cd .. sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-mga_*.deb
