Just for future reference and to have the information together in one
place, getting dualhead monitors working on FreeBSD 6.2 along with X.org
6.9.0:
Download matrox_driver-x86_32-4.4.0.tar.gz from matrox.com. Extract it
and copy xserver/6.9.0/mga_drv.so and mga_hal_drv.so to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers.
Given a compatible xorg.conf file to start with, /usr/ports/x11/mgapdesk
will generate an xorg.conf that has the dualhead setup with Xinerama. I
can't tell if it does anything more than that, really.
DRI only appears to work on the main display. When X is not running,
the second monitor mirrors the display of the first.
This working xorg.conf is a combination of one generated by X
-configure, mgapdesk, and my own customizations:
