Right, the install script doesn't work.

I moved the mga_hal out of the way and did a dpkg -i xserver-xorg-6.9
deb to try and use the default driver.
I thought what was happening is that I upgraded to 6.9 which left the
mga_hal untouched but upgraded mga_drv. So by moving the mga_hal I
should have been trying the standard mga driver that comes with
xserver-xorg.

That's what I was trying. But I xauth was not allowing that. I need
to refresh my memory how xauth works.
