[I've seen some comments here about people struggling w/ mga_hal, so I thought I'd share this.] I wanted to use features of the Matrox mga x11 driver (dual headed digital video) that required the hal, but I wasn't able to get the mga_hal port to work with Xorg 6.9. I cobbled up an underhanded hack that resulted in a working set of binaries, based on some hacks that the Linux community was using. If you need to use mga_hal w/ Xorg 6.9 on -STABLE, my hack might be useful. You can find the details at: http://forum.matrox.com/mga/viewtopic.php?t=19868 g.
