My bug report on that is http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116851 > Can you check if it will work with the patch? 1.4.7 with your patch (and my patch to xorg-server) behaves as expected: no dualhead with either old or new (xrandr-1.2) xorg.conf. >>> The patch attached reverts the port back to 1.4.7 version (which is >>> looks like the latest version available) and also adds some patches >>> from git for known problems. I'd suggest leaving the xf86-video-mga as it is (1.9.100, the newer xrandr-1.2 driver). Add another port for the legacy version (1.4.7) for those who need it until the newer driver replaces it entirely. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
