The reason I had added this was to enable me to test the
basic functionality of this driver with a test box at
my desk rather than having to rely on some remote screen
setup to some server half way around the world ;)

And I'm actually not sure if the user experience with
this card with the xorg-x11-drv-mga is as good as it
used to be in its prime time days.
