Right, i fixed this already in my svn tree. Just didn't had the
time to do another release. Concidering my current schedule, i
don't think i will be able before .12 is released. Sorry, about that.

No, problem. Howabout drivers/mga_vid.c that is distributed with
MPlayer, it's little bit diffrent than your patch and it won't compile
either. Are you able to fix that?

It's not broken, why should i fix it ? :)
Jokes aside, the reason why i did not change anything in the mga_vid
in the cvs tree is, that we need a backward compatible version
for 2.4 and 2.2 kernels. The changes for 2.6 are way too big
than they could be handled by simple #ifdefs.

Here is a patch that make that driver usable again. I don't how
correct it is, but it works.

Another issue that came to mind is that how do I get my Dualhead G450
use that another head as TV display?

You have to specify the other head as primary screen.
IIRC that is described somewhere in the documentation.

Create a subdir "2.6" and put it there?
And a subdir "2.2-2.4" and move the old mga_vid into that?

I thought about that, but the problem with the 2.6. tree is,
that it changes too fast. Ie if i want to support more than
one subversion then i have to use branches which is with
cvs quite a pain.

Currently i use my personal svn repo to maintain the different
version. Maybe i move the whole stuff to a public repo or
something. But currently i don't have the time for this.
