matroxfb is much better organized wrt dual-head configurations. It also
has support for some hardware that xf86-video-mga doesn't support yet.
I'm working on that.

I think you might be hitting this bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9854

I just attached a temporary fix that you could try.
