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

- DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectVideo support

  The DirectDraw driver we provide is compatible with DirectX 2 (and
  later) and includes Direct3D support. For our DirectDraw/Direct3D
  driver to be called, and benefit from hardware acceleration,
  Microsoft DirectX 2 (or later) MUST be installed, even for programs
  originally made for DirectX 1.

  Also, if a recent version of DirectX isn't installed, some Matrox 
  PowerDesk features may not be available.

  We provide DirectX on the Matrox CD-ROM. The latest DirectX is
  available from the Microsoft Web site, and is included with many 
  DirectX programs.

  IMPORTANT: If the DirectX setup program prompts you to replace the
  existing display drivers, click "No". Otherwise, the setup program 
  installs display drivers which are not as optimized as the Matrox 
  drivers and which do not support PowerDesk software.

  Note that depending on the origin of your Microsoft DirectX software, 
  it may not include DirectVideo support. For faster playback of Indeo 
  and Cinepak AVI files, you should install Microsoft DirectVideo 
  support. 

- Matrox bus mastering

  This driver supports bus mastering. Bus mastering is a feature that 
  allows expansion cards to perform tasks at the same time as your 
  computer's CPU. If you have a fast Pentium computer (faster than 
  166 MHz), the display performance of most programs is improved when 
  bus mastering is used.

  To use bus mastering with 3D (DirectX) programs, your graphics card 
  needs an interrupt request (IRQ). Most computers automatically assign 
  an IRQ to graphics cards, but some do not. If your graphics card hasn't 
  been assigned an IRQ, programs that use Matrox bus mastering may not 
  work properly. For more information, see your Matrox or system manual.

- Adobe Type Manager limitation

  With Adobe Type Manager installed, you cannot run the driver if
  the "Advanced Graphics Acceleration Settings" is set to none. Note
  that ATM is installed as part of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This is an
  Adobe problem documented in the Windows 95/98 "display.txt" file.

- Monitors in interlaced mode

  Some older monitors such as the NEC 3D and many "SuperVGA" monitors
  do not support non-interlaced mode in all resolutions. The Matrox display 
  driver does not properly handle interlaced mode with the Windows 95/98 
  monitor selection method. If you have one of these monitors, please 
  use the Matrox Monitor selection method.

- DirectDraw and Automatic Power Management

  As stated in "Microsoft DirectX release Notes", September 30, 1995, a 
  DirectDraw game may be unable to restore properly if it is suspended 
  by Automatic Power Management utilities.

- Installation in different language versions of Windows 95/98

  If you install software in a language different from the language of 
  your operating system (for example, English software on a Japanese 
  system), you may have problems with text and dialog box controls being 
  cut off. This is because of differences in system fonts.
 
- Matrox "DualHead Zoom" feature with digital video

  If your Matrox graphics card has DualHead support and you're using Windows
  95/98, the "DualHead Zoom" feature doesn't display digital video that is 
  using the video overlay feature of your Matrox graphics card. Programs that 
  use the video overlay feature include Microsoft Media Player, Zoran SoftDVD 
  and other programs that use ActiveMovie or DirectX Media. If the "DualHead 
  Zoom" feature is used on a region that's using hardware-based video 
  overlay, that region will appear as a solid color on your secondary display.
  (If your secondary display is a TV, you can use the "DualHead DVDMax" 
  feature to view this type of video full-screen on your secondary display.)
  
- DualHead Multi-Display with other graphics cards

  With Windows 98, certain Matrox graphics cards (for example, Millennium G400
  graphics cards with the DualHead feature) support the "DualHead Multi-
  Display" feature. With this feature, one graphics chip is used to control
  two separate displays. Because of problems with Windows 98, this feature
  may not work with more than one graphics card in your computer.
