>From mga(4x):
       Support for the second head on G400
       cards requires a binary-only "mga_hal" module that  is  availabl=
e  from
       Matrox  <http://www.matrox.com>, and may be on the CD supplied w=
ith the
       card.  That module also provides various other enhancements, and=
 may be
       necessary  to  use  the  DVI  (digital)  output  on the G550 (an=
d other
       cards).

Last I checked, that mga_hal module is x86 only, and I know it is
requred to use DVI on a G450.
