I just did the patch (mga.diff): xf86-video-mga-1.4.7,1 X.Org mga display driver Built and installed with no problems and everything seems to be as it should be. I do have to say that I did learn more about Xorg in trying to use the newer driver. I probably wouldn't have if the new driver had just worked out of the box. This definitely needs to get committed before the upcoming release(s). Thanks for fixing this! Randy --
