Matrox drivers
==============

Path        Product
----        -------
\win9x      PowerDesk & drivers for Windows 95/98/Me, v6.21 (Intl 1)
\win2k      PowerDesk & drivers for Windows 2000, v5.31     (Intl 1)

- Matrox supports "Intl 1" software in the following languages:
  English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

- Windows 95/98/Me/2000 and Windows NT 4.0 drivers are 
  automatically installed by the main CD-ROM install program, called 
  "mgasetup.exe".

- Other drivers must be installed individually from their 
  respective directories. For more information, see below.

* Display drivers for Windows 3.1 and Linux aren't available 
  on this CD-ROM. Check the Matrox Web site for these display 
  drivers. Other operating systems aren't supported.


OS/2
====

Driver installation
-------------------
(1)  Restart your computer in VGA mode:

     (a)  During startup, press [Alt]+[F1] when "OS/2" appears in 
          the top-left corner of your screen.

     (b)  From the on-screen menu, choose to restart in VGA mode.

(2)  Insert the Matrox CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.

(3)  In "Presentation Manager" (PM), double-click "OS/2 System", 
     then click "Drives".

(4)  Double-click the icon for your CD-ROM drive, then double-click 
     "os2" > "install.cmd".

(5)  Enable the Primary "Display" check box, then click "OK".

(6)  Select "MATROX G400/G450, MGA Millennium/Mystique/MGA-G100/MGA-
     G200 Driver v2.50" in the list box, then click "OK".

(7)  Type "d:\os2\" (where "d" is the letter of your CD-ROM drive), 
     then click "Install".

(8)  After files are copied to your computer, restart your computer 
     for changes to take effect.

If this is a first-time installation, "OS/2" restarts in the 
default display settings for Matrox drivers (640 x 480 display 
area, 256 colors). For information on the Matrox driver for "OS/2", 
see the "os2\readme.os2" text file on the Matrox CD-ROM.

Display settings
----------------
To open the "MGA Settings" program, double-click its icon on the PM 
desktop. Use this program to change display settings like 
resolution, color palette, font size, EnDIVE (Enhanced Direct 
Interface Video Extensions), a hardware-zoom hot key, and to see 
display information.

Monitor settings
----------------
If you have a Plug-and-Play (DDC) monitor, the Matrox display 
driver automatically uses correct settings for your monitor. If you 
don’t have a DDC monitor and a monitor is not selected in Matrox 
software, the driver uses default settings. Use "MGA Settings" to 
select a monitor.

Notes, problems and limitations
===============================

- For Matrox software updates to fix some, most, or all of the 
  problems listed here, see the Matrox Web site 
  (www.matrox.com/mga).

- Under Windows 95/98, we recommend that Microsoft DirectX 7.0 or 
  later be installed. DirectX 7.0 is available on this CD-ROM. If 
  this software isn't installed or an older version is installed, 
  the CD-ROM setup program automatically installs DirectX 7.0.

- Under Windows 95/98/Me/2000, if you manually try to install 
  Microsoft DirectX software from your Matrox CD-ROM and a more 
  recent version of this software was previously installed on your 
  computer, the setup program may not work properly. If you need to 
  reinstall DirectX, try downloading the most recent version from 
  Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com).

- If you have a Pentium III computer and you're using Windows 95, 
  Direct3D programs may not work properly. (With a Pentium III 
  computer, Direct3D programs work properly under Windows 98/Me.)

- For 3D Studio Max and TrueSpace under Windows 95/98/Me/2000, we 
  recommend you configure these programs to use Direct3D 
  acceleration.

- Note the following limitations related to the OpenGL drivers 
  available on this CD-ROM:

    - While using "DualHead Multi-Display" mode under 
      Windows 95/98/Me, 3D hardware acceleration isn't available 
      for OpenGL programs. Under Windows 2000 and NT 4.0, OpenGL 
      acceleration IS available while using "DualHead Multi-
      Display" mode (as long as you're not using another graphics 
      card at the same time).

    - Using 3D Studio Max 2.0, you may experience problems with the 
      viewports being improperly redrawn. If this happens, simply 
      click in a viewport to properly update their display. (This 
      problem isn't present with version 2.5 or later of 3D Studio 
      Max.)

- Under Windows 95/98/Me, you may experience problems using "The 
  60's USA" screen saver included with the Windows Plus Pack.

- Under Windows 95, the Matrox CD-ROM setup program may not work 
  properly. If you experience this problem, you may have to 
  manually install the display driver and Microsoft DirectX 
  software. To install the display driver, run the "setup" program 
  in the "Win9x" folder, then follow the on-screen instructions. To 
  install DirectX, run the "dx70eng" program in the "DirectX" 
  folder, then follow the on-screen instructions.

- If your computer has an AMD processor (for example, a AMD K6-3) 
  and you experience problems with DVD playback, you should contact 
  the manufacturer of your motherboard for a possible software 
  update that may fix this problem.
