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.
