Not to mention that I consider it quite ironic.  The mga driver was
broken in a few versions of X11.  Arch fixed it quickly, as did various
other non-newcomer friendly distributions, such as Gentoo and FreeBSD. 

In Gentoo, even in the last beta of Feisty that I tried, although the
problem is confirmed (long after it should have been) and a fix has been
made, they still haven't fixed it. 

I think it was fixed in Arch within 3-4 days of occuring.
