(Get the code!)
I started with a new intrepid kubuntu install, did an apt-get update/upgrade, then changed my xorg.conf file to do dual head and got the BAR 0 issue. I then installed Andy's ppa mga driver and rebooted the machine. I get the same result as before. The second monitor looks out of sync (diagonal lines, distorted picture), and when I swtich back to console mode, the screen resolution on the second monitor is 720x350@70 Hz (according to the monitor's status screen).
Both monitors should be running at 1680x1050@60Hz. The primary monitor seems to be correct in that regard, and the second monitor _reports_ that it is getting set to that resolution/refresh rate, but something must not be reporting correctly.
I've also tried mergedFB, but it fails when it complains it cannot load mga_hal. Since I am using a PCI G550 (I think it might be dual DVI, but I am using the monitors in analog mode), I didn't think the driver was supposed to try to load mga_hal. In any case, mga_hal is not installed.
