Well yes, but "may be necessary" is not the same as "is required" :-) In
fact the DVI output works fine--it's the mouse that doesn't, and mga(4)
doesn't say anything about that.

Essentially I was wondering whether others have also experienced this
issue since I couldn't find anything about it on the Web.
