<div dir="ltr">I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a 32-bit machine that has a Matrox G450
dual-head AGP. The xserver-xorg package installed is 1:7.6+12ubuntu1,
and the xserver-xorg-video-mga package installed is
1:1.4.13.dfsg-4build2. In X, both monitors come on but display the same
output. I enabled Xinerama in xorg.conf and defined the dual-head
configuration hoping I would get one desktop spread across both monitors
but still had the same mirrored output.<br>
<br>With the official driver from Matrox on this version of X, only one monitor turns on.<br><br>I was trying to locate information on the status of the open-source mga driver but did not find much on <a href="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/mga" target="_blank">wiki.x.org/wiki/mga</a>.
Is a Xinerama dual-head configuration supposed to be supported with the
open-source driver for the G450? If not, is it planned to be supported
soon?<br><br>Youssef Eldakar<br></div>
