I did a Debian-testing (Etch) install from a netinst CD. The automatic
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file produced a configuration that worked, but didn't
use the second display. Instead, both displays showed the same thing. This
is not unusual for a system that I have not yet set up to use the second
display.

I edited xorg.conf (see below) to use the second display. I restarted the
X server and it worked correctly. However, upon rebooting the second
display did not work with the new configuration. Instead of mirroring the
first display, the monitor remained in the standby mode (presumeably it
was not recieving a signal). I reverted back to the old configuration, got
the mirrored display, used the new configuration, and got the second
display correctly. This is my workaround.

I was previously using Debian-stable (Sarge) and the second display worked
correctly with that.

I'm using a Matrox G550 AGP 32mb video card with an Asus A8V motherboard.

Hi,

I just uploaded xserver-xorg-video-mga 1.9.99.dfsg.1-1 to experimental.
It brings RandR 1.2 support, which improves mode detection and dynamic
configuration. It should also support DVI. About RandR 1.2, note that
you might need to update your xorg.conf, see the pointers I inserted in
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/12835.html

Thanks,
Brice
