The situation is no different with the g400. You have to use -vo mga,
not fbdev, and that means you have to put the primary head on the
tvout and the secondary junk one on the monitor. Or you can just
mirror the same (primary) to both heads and forget about the horrible
unaccelerated "fb1".

BTW this belongs on -users, not -dev-eng.
