The libvgahw.a thing is over-optimized by GCC 4.0, which causes these
problems. I'm currently packaging a new snapshot of gcc that should be
fixed.
For the matrox dualhead: you only need mga_hal. For the rest, you can
just set your desktop to virtual desktop 2560x1024, turn on MergedFB and
add some extra options for the 2nd head refreshrate. This works with the
stock xorg driver in -3 and -4.
