1) Please include the information described in XF86Config(7):
When reporting bugs to the Debian Bug Tracking System in
xserver-xfree86, be sure to include a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Con-
fig-4 and /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or whichever log file the X server
used - see XFree86(1x)) files in the bug report. Many problems with
the X server are the result of poor configuration. Furthermore, this
information aids the Debian Developers in determining your hardware
scenario.
2) It is possible that this is a hardware limitation. Multiple-output
video cards often don't support all features on secondary "heads".
[I'd appreciate feedback from Matrox users on the debian-x list so I
know whether I'm right about 2) or not.]
