I've been using the xf86-video-mga-1.4.7,1 from that PR for awhile now and it performs like previous versions. I can't use the version presently in the tree for reasons discussed on this mailing list: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20071103180058.1c1bd333.bsd-unix http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20071103114415.7d910c32.bsd-unix I did try to fuss with the xf86-video-mga-1.9.100 using xrandr and such and did manage to get a resolution my eyes could live with but mplayer would only display a blue screen in its window. This version certainly didn't work out-of-the-box for me. I'm in favor of the patched version from ports/117726 but there was some discussion of having both versions in the tree since the newer version seemed to have solved some dual-head issues for others. They'll have to speak up regarding those though since I can't readily find the list references. Thanks for taking a look at this. Randy --
