Module mga_vid loads but does not work.  This is an up to date
debian sid.  The mga_vid module was build and installed with
module assistant:

$ sudo m-a -t a-i mga-vid

the module compiled and installed fine.  It's here:

$ find /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/|grep mga|xargs -r ls -l 
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64629 2008-10-01 18:24 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/mga.ko
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16678 2008-10-08 10:18 
/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/misc/mga_vid.ko

It's possible to load it:

$ sudo rmmod mga_vid ; sudo modprobe mga_vid ; lsmod|head -n 4
Module                  Size  Used by
mga_vid                11372  0 
mga                    54784  2 
drm                    65256  3 mga


and the /dev/mga_vid device node is there, with correct
permissions and numbers:

$ ls -l /dev/mga_vid*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      8 2008-10-08 10:51 /dev/mga_vid -> mga_vid0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 83, 0 2008-10-08 10:51 /dev/mga_vid0



but it does not work.  The vlc and xine media player GUIs do not
show mga_vid as a video driver.  I do not know how to force them
to use mga_vid.

When using mplayer it does not show the movie:

$ mplayer -vo mga -ao alsa /usr/share/xine/visuals/default.avi
