1.4.7 doesn't work for a lot of people, either, at least anybody who 
wants to use dualhead.  Or xrandr-1.2.  My bug report on that is

1.4.7 with your patch (and my patch to xorg-server) behaves as expected: 
no dualhead with either old or new (xrandr-1.2) xorg.conf.

I'd suggest leaving the xf86-video-mga as it is (1.9.100, the newer 
xrandr-1.2 driver).

Add another port for the legacy version (1.4.7) for those who need it 
until the newer driver replaces it entirely.
