Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "mga"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "Matrox Graphics, Inc. G400/G450"
This is the one Link Swanson just brought over to the
studio and it's spanning dual screens running
"2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma".
I've had a couple hard lockups while configuring,
we'll see how stable it is as I run it.
