Comment 31 for bug 292214

Using Andy's patched package, I am able to get both screens up again, but the second monitor is distorted like there is a sync problem. However, the monitor is reporting that the signals are correct.

I am using a G550 Dual head with two Dell 2005FPW monitors at 1680x1050.

If I force the second monitor to a different resolution (like 1280x1024), then it will display, but it is distorted due to the wrong aspect ratio. Also, even though I can move windows over to that side, it's almost like the desktop doesn't extend that far. There are no backgrounds or any context menus from the desktop there.

Of course, this all worked fine before updating from Hardy to Intrepid.

Other things I've noticed: Control panel for the display crashes (saw that with KDE4 in Hardy), X -configure does not work with mga driver, mga_hal_drv doesn't like to load.
