Yes, please.  When you do, could you attach your xorg.conf and your
Xorg.0.log.  Please, please, please do NOT cut-and-paste them into the
bug report.  Please add them as attachments.  I'm in the process of
making some changes to the mga driver, so I'll see if I can reproduce
this while I'm working on those.

Hopefully there will be a new release of the mga driver soon.  It will
partially depend where ajax is with the changes he's making as well.
