Did you compile this server yourself ? I've noticed that RedHat 8.0 ships with a version of mga_drv.o whcih doesn't support the hal. You aren't using that version, but has yours been similarly nobbled ? This is what I get on a setup which does use the hal: % strings /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o | grep -i hal NoHal Crtc2Half HALSetDisplayStart mga_hal Matrox HAL module used Matrox HAL module not loaded - using builtin mode setup instead This card requires the "mga_hal" module for dual-head operation HALLib not loaded! NOT using "Merged Framebuffer" mode. MGAValidateMode from HALlib found the mode to be invalid. MGAValidateMode from HALlib found the mode to be invalid. MGAValidateVideoParameters from HALlib found the mode to be invalid.
