Re: [Dri-users] Matrox G450 16 DH

hi,
if your card came with a video-out cable, plug it into the second head and 
add Device and Screen Sections for the second head to your XF86Config (your 
ServerLayout section should be set up for single head).

this seems to be a bug in HALlib. for more information take a look at the 
linux section on matrox' support forum: 
http://forum.matrox.com/cgi-bin/mgaforum/Ultimate.cgi

have a nice day,
stefang
