Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
My video card is Matrox G550 AGP Low profile with DVI-output and optional dual DVI-output. Display is LG L194WTSF widescreen LCD display with optimum resolution 1440x900.
With Feisty and Gutsy, (didn't try Dapper) when booting console shows up fine, but X puts my display to powersave, possible caused by signal-out-of-range or no signal at all. (Display won't tell why). Xorg.0.log won't give any errors that would help me, this is propably known problem of 1.4.6-version.
From Debian bugs I found that new 1.9 version of mga-driver should work, so hopefully next Ubuntu release will contain new mga-driver.
With help of Unofficial Matrox Technical Support Forum http://

From the manpage for the mga driver:
Support for the second head on G400 www.matrox. com>, and may be on the CD supplied with the

card. That module also provides various other enhancements, and may be
necessary to use the DVI (digital) output on the G550 (and other
cards).
