Problem using both framebuffers with matrox G550

Problem using both framebuffers with matrox G550

[Helge Hafting]

I have a matrox G550, which have two vga connectors.  (One of them is
a digital connector with a converter.)

The 2.6.0-test7 kernel creates two framebuffers as expected,
/dev/fb/0 and /dev/fb/1.

Unfortunately, /dev/fb/0 is shown on both screens, I want
/dev/fb/1 on the other one.  The goal is
to run framebuffer X on the second head until I find
a good pci card for the second monitor, so I can have
two users on one machine.  The X setup *seems* to work,
but is of little use as long as the framebuffer is invisible.

The two displays become identical as soon as the kernel
initialize the framebuffer console (when the penguins appear)
and it stays like that.  Do I need some kernel parameter or
other trick to make this work?
