 FYI
 Just installed 6.1-RELEASE
 
 RELEASE installs xorg-server-6.8.99.903 (RC 3)
 
 No problem, applied the routine on xorg-server-6.9.0_3, getting used to it.
 
 Surprise, surprise!
 
 IS NOW - RELEASE
 asus-p4# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga*

 Something changed in the toolchain apparently, drivers are not 
 interchangeable. No error in the Xorg.0.log, but the screen was black.
 
 In summary:
 - drivers are not portable over any toolchain when compiled with the 
 default on GENERIC
 - I cannot test HAL adequacy for TV output, Andre told me it does not work.
 - We both cannot open a text console.
 - I can use other monitors beyond the first one (aka master, aka 
 default), all what I needed. Rem, Matrox sources still are xorg-6.8.2.
 
 Have fun!
