I guess what I'm not clear on is that the xserver-xorg package
contains mga_drv.so, but not the mga_hal_drv file.
$ strings mga_drv.so | grep hal
mga_hal
This card requires the "mga_hal" module for dual-head operation
The problem is the mga_drv.so driver requires the mga_hal_drv. Is
that true? It seems like both files are required, but only one file
is included in the package? Are they both closed source? On only
the mga_hal?
