I also had this problem on lucid. Applying the patches automatically failed, but I was able to manually apply the patches and I'm up and running with two monitors. I repackaged patch-3 as it worked on my system and have attached that patch. I've had to fight this across three upgrades. It sure would be nice if this was accepted.

to apply:
sudo apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-mga
cd xserver-xorg-video-mga-1.4.11.dfsg
./configure
make (to be sure it compiles)
cd src
apply the patch
patch < lucid_mga_dual.patch
cd ..
make
sudo cp mga_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mga_drv.so
