	Bufff...it is complicated. *Very*. I was looking into the sources.

	7 weeks ago Ian Romanick isolated and rewrote the BIOS handling code in mga 
driver. So I think that given that the patch and fix from this weekend went 
against the new code, the only suitable solution would be to backport the 
whole driver to 6.8.2 or compile the 6.9 tree including this patch.

	A lot (several hours). But CPU power is cheap. You can wait a little, because 
David Nusinow is packing 6.9 for Debian in parallel, so I do not think that 
X.Org 6.9 will delay a lot in Debian.

	Best regards,


		Ender.
