Works OK in 12.04

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

It looks like mga_dga.c (line 32) references MGAStormSync even if XAA is disabled. But Makefile.am does not add mga_storm.c to mga_drv_la_SOURCES in this case.

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-mga - 1:1.6.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
xserver-xorg-video-mga (1:1.6.1-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Fix the upstream version, the previous 1.6.0 was really 1.6.1.
  * Added fix-driver-load.diff, fixes loading the driver when the
    xserver it was built against has no support for XAA anymore. (LP:
    #1044797)
