As usual, as soon as I post I finally figure out how to do it. The error
was to have had a "Screen 2" entry in the device section of the mystique.

Get rid of it and it works.

3 monitors better than 2... yum !

I wanted to add that with a different XF86Config file that only lists the
mystique, it works fine (well, with one head, the mystique). So I know
that card can work, and the PCI info is right. Now, how do I get it to run
along the G400 ?

Any help much appreciated...

Hi all,

I am trying to get a tri-head configuration to work on freebsd. I have a
matrox G400 dualhead (AGP) and a matrox mystique (PCI). I already had the
G400 working for a while, I just want to add the mystique. Here is the
error given in XFree86.log :

(II) MGA: driver for Matrox chipsets: mga2064w, mga1064sg, mga2164w,
        mga2164w AGP, mgag100, mgag100 PCI, mgag200, mgag200 PCI, mgag400,
        mgag550
