-autoconfig didn't produce good results for me.  I have a dualhead setup and 
it gave me only a single display.  I invoked it by "startx -- -autoconfig".

I also read the readme for mga and I can't really determine what the best 
config for my G550 is.  Currently, I'm using Xinerama and it disables DRI on 
both heads.  I don't know how to configure it for the "DualHead Multi-Display 
- Merged feature" the readme refers to.
