It's not broken, why should i fix it ? :)
Jokes aside, the reason why i did not change anything in the mga_vid
in the cvs tree is, that we need a backward compatible version
for 2.4 and 2.2 kernels. The changes for 2.6 are way too big
than they could be handled by simple #ifdefs.

You have to specify the other head as primary screen.
