That's a Matrox-specific "feature." It is needed on some of the older cards to use Xinerama, but not for the G450 and G550 (not that these are exactly new). So I deleted the file. I can find the particulars if you like, but I don't think it applies to your case. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11-servers/mga_hal/ for details on mga-hal. You may wish to sort through the X.org log file, though, to make sure that there are no similar vendor-specific files that have broken in the upgrade to 6.9. That's how I found that mga-hal did not work. Frank
