unfortunately nothing has changed wrt this bug. My MGA G550 is unusable 
without the proprietary mga_hal module (which is quite a problem as Matrox 
support for this is quite low, e.g. the last released driver is for Xorg 7.0 
(but luckily also works with 7.1).

I'm on unstable with xorg 7.1.0-10 and the buggy behavior is still there.

Thanks,
Carsten
