Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "mga"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "Matrox Graphics, Inc. G400/G450"

This is the one Link Swanson just brought over to the
studio and it's spanning dual screens running
"2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma".

I've had a couple hard lockups while configuring,
we'll see how stable it is as I run it.
