I tried upgrading to 9.04 alpha 6 but X won't even load during installation. Mobo is Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H.

I've since switched to the intel-gfx-testing drivers (https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive), and here's what's working:

Dual Monitors + Compiz (1920x1080 and 1024x768)
Xv
EXA

Everything works fairly well.

I also try to set up dual screen / dual display on the Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H Board. I'd like to connect two TFTs via DVI and VGA.

Do I have to configure xorg by hand, or is there a config-tool available as I was used from nvidia-xconfig for example?

glxgears isn't a good bench, I'd suggest to try:
/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glblur -window -fps

Try the beta with the latest updates (repos provides mesa 7.4 today !)

well, never had to set up a dual monitor system since I use Ubuntu (from 7.10), maybe Jaunty -beta- should be able to recognize all.

I have just tested some stuff.
My 2 cents: UXA wasn't really worthwhile because I had an awful video output -x11, xv, xvmc- compared to EXA (the opposite on HD sources!).

So I upgraded to new 2.7.0 release but I didn't see any quality improvement (SD sources -mp4, avi, flv and so on-).

How did I settle this annoying nuisance ? Got the 0.9.5 gnome mplayer .deb and

shame on default Ubuntu's repos again

I'm going to try to clean reinstall 9.04 sometime later, see how things go for me. I've pretty much had the machine running sans X.org for months because of horrible stability. I would have it run for months without issue and the moment I would try to start X.org problems would show up.

Hopefully the machine will last more than a few hours now without spontaneous reboots.

Read this thread, lad

plus I'd strongly recommend to upgrade Gnome Mplayer (latest: 0.9.5), I don't like much Totem
