[Dansk] README.TXT MATROX GRAPHICS INC. 2000.09.07 Matrox PowerDesk til Windows NT 4.0 Bemærk: Denne fil kan indeholde information, der er tilføjet i sidste øjeblik og derfor ikke oversat til dansk. Vi beklager! Indhold ======= - Installation - Release - Matrox PowerDesk - Hardware-accelereret 3D - Bemærkninger, problemer og begrænsninger - Matrox TV-udlæsning - [English...] DualHead notes [...English] Installation ============ [English...] This section describes how to install the Matrox display driver for Windows NT 4.0 (SP 5). Note: You may need administrator rights to install certain software. For more information, see Windows documentation. (1) After the display driver has been copied to your hard disk: Right-click your Windows desktop background, then click "Properties" > "Settings" > "Display Type" > "Change" > "Have Disk" > "Browse". (2) Select the folder where the Matrox display driver for your operating system (Windows NT 4.0) is located, then click "Open" > "OK". (3) Select the appropriate model/language name, then click "OK" > "Yes" > "OK" > "Close" > "Close" > "Yes". [...English] Release ======= Dette er Matrox-skærmdriver til Windows NT, Den understøtter Microsoft Windows NT til x86 CPU'er, version 4.0 (build 1381 eller nyere). Dette produkt omfatter: - Skærmdriver - Matrox PowerDesk til Windows NT 4.0 [English...] The display driver supports up to 16 graphics chips at a time. If one of those chips has DualHead support, the display driver supports up to 17 displays at a time. (Note: A graphics card may have more than one graphics chip. Also, the display driver must support each model of graphics card installed in your computer.) [...English] Matrox PowerDesk ================ Ændring af opløsning, valg af skærm og anvendelse af Matrox PowerDesk behandles i filen "online.doc". Du kan se denne fil med WordPad. Hardware-accelereret 3D ======================= Til 3D-hardwareacceleration understøtter Matrox Windows NT 4.0-skærmdriveren OpenGL-interface med 2 drivertyper - MCD (Mini Client Driver) og ICD (Installable Client Driver). Matrox-grafikkort, som er baseret på Matrox Millennium, Millennium II, Mystique, Mystique 220 og G100, har indbygget MCD-understøttelse. Matrox-grafikkort, som er baseret på G200, G400 og senere udgaver, har indbygget ICD-understøttelse (en ICD-driver kan potentielt optimeres mere end en MCD-driver). Der er følgende begrænsninger ved 3D-hardwareacceleration: - Aceleration er endnu ikke til rådighed, når der benyttes flere kort. - MCD understøtter ikke 8 bpp (256 farver) og 24 bpp (16777216 farver). 16 bpp (64 K farver) og 32 bpp (ægte farver) kan hardware-accelereres. - Der kan forventes begræsninger i tilgængelige opløsninger. Alle 3D-tilstande kræver ekstra hukommelse til at håndtere dobbelt bufferlagring og/eller Z-bufferlagring, og denne hukommelse er ikke længere tilgængelig til visning. Bemærkninger, problemer og begrænsninger ======================================== [English...] - Using 1280 x 800 display resolution with P1690 monitors To use 1280 x 800 display resolution with P1690 monitors, make sure "P1690" is selected with the Matrox "Monitor" property sheet. To access this property sheet, click the "Matrox QuickDesk" icon on your Windows taskbar, then click "Matrox Display Properties" > "Monitor". For more information on monitor selection, see the Matrox PowerDesk guide included with your display driver. [...English] - Computere med mere end én PCI bus Det er muligt, at en indstilling til en fuldskærmskommandoprompt eller et skift i tilstand resulterer i et computersammenbrud, hvis der installeres et kort i en anden PCI-bus end bus 0. Problemet undersøges. Det kan muligvis løse problemet at flytte kortet til en anden PCI-slot. På visse systemer rapporterer Windows NT konflikter mellem adaptere, der er installeret uden for PCI-broen. I sådanne tilfælde kan Matrox Millennium miniport-driveren ikke få adgang til dens eget kort. Hvis det ser ud til, at systemet ikke kan finde Millennium-kortet, kan du prøve at flytte det til en anden PCI-slot. Installation af Microsoft Service Pack 3 (eller nyere) til Windows NT 4.0 skulle løse mange af disse problemer. - DirectDraw med virtuelle skriveborde Visse DirectDraw programmer virker ikke rigtigt sammen med virtuelle skriveborde. Vi anbefaler at du kører DirectDraw programmer sammen med et normalt skrivebord. - Pauseskærm med 3D-labyrint Der kan opstå skærmproblemer når der bruges en pauseskærm med "3D- labyrint". Det kan ske efter at Microsoft Service Pack 2 til Windows NT 4.0 er installeret. Disse skærmproblemer udbedres tilsyneladende af Service Pack 3 (eller nyere). - Kørsel med Winstone 97 CenterPOPUP-funktionen skal være deaktiveret (det er standardindstilling) når man kører Winstone 97 benchmark. Nogle prøver rapporterer muligvis en timeout-fejl hvis CenterPOPUP benyttes. - Begrænsning ved brug af flere grafikkort Windows NT 4.0 understøtter højst ca. 280 forskellige skærmtilstande (kombinationer af indstilling af opløsning, farvepalet og opdateringshastighed). Du kan nå denne grænse hvis du har mere end ét Matrox grafikkort installeret i computeren. Hvis Matrox-knappen "VESA-indstillinger" vælges når der er flere Matrox kort i computeren, er der større chancer for at du når grænsen for antal skærmtilstande i Windows NT 4.0. Det er fordi "VESA- indstillinger" understøtter flere forskellige opdateringshastigheder for hver enkelt skærmopløsnings- og farvepaletindstilling. Hvis du har mere end et Matrox grafikkort i computeren, anbefaler vi at du ikke bruger "VESA-indstillinger". Husk på at hvis du ændrer opdateringshastigheden via Microsoft-dialogboksen "Skærm Egenskaber", aktiveres "VESA-indstillinger". - 3D Studio MAX 1.2 Hvis du har problemer med at køre 3D Studio Max 1.2 med Matrox HEIDI driveren, skal du prøve at deaktivere afkrydningsfeltet "Brug bus mastering" under "Generelle indstillinger". Du får adgang til dette afkrydsningsfelt ved at, klik på "Start" -> "Programmer" -> "Matrox PowerDesk" -> "Matrox-skærmegenskaber" -> "Ydeevne". - 3D Studio MAX 2.0 Hvis du skifter mellem HEIDI softwareemulering og OpenGL- acceleration, mens 3D Studio Max 2.0 kører, kan det bevirke at synsfelterne flimrer under afspilning af animationer. Dette kan også ske hvis skærmindstillinger (opløsning eller farvepalet) ændres mens 3D Studio Max kører. Hvis du kommer ud for disse problemer, skal du prøve at lukke 3D Studio Max, ændre skærmindstillingerne (opløsning eller farvepalet) og dernæst genstarte 3D Studio MAX. [English...] - 15-bit color palette support A 15-bit color palette is no longer supported. - Multi-display desktop support With a multi-display desktop, all displays use the same color palette and display resolution. The maximum display resolution you can select is determined by the display with the highest maximum display resolution. If a display in your multi-display desktop doesn't support a selected display resolution, that display will automatically use a virtual display. With a "virtual display", parts of your "display area" are off-screen. You can move your mouse pointer to the edge of the screen to move the visible part of your virtual display. This virtual display feature is similar to using the Matrox zoom (PixelTOUCH) feature. Note: The "virtual display" feature isn't available with the secondary display of a DualHead-supporting graphics card. If a secondary display is part of your multi-display desktop, the maximum display resolution you can select is limited by the maximum display resolution of your secondary display. For more information on DualHead, see "DualHead notes". Software monitor settings help determine the maximum display resolution for each display. If software monitor settings aren't properly selected for all displays, one or more displays may become garbled or unusable if an unsupported display resolution is selected. For more information on selecting software monitor settings, see the online PowerDesk guide (online.doc). - Video playback with multi-display mode In multi-display mode, digital video playback may be more limited than in single-display mode. Specifically, some DVD or video playback programs may not start at all or play back with lower quality. You may be able to run the program and/or improve playback quality by closing the program, switching to single-display mode, and then restarting the program. For more information on switching to single-display mode, see other Matrox documentation. This limitation may not apply to "DualHead Multi-Display" mode. For more information, see "DualHead notes" in this file. - OpenGL support Note the following limitations related to the OpenGL driver included with Matrox PowerDesk: - OpenGL support may not be included in some versions of Matrox PowerDesk. For a version of Matrox PowerDesk with OpenGL support enabled, see the Matrox Web site (www.matrox.com/mga). - Under Windows NT 4.0, OpenGL acceleration isn't supported with Matrox MMS (Multi-Monitor Series) graphics cards or if you have more than one Matrox graphics card installed in your computer. - With DualHead-supporting graphics cards, OpenGL acceleration is available while using "DualHead Multi-Display" mode under Windows NT 4.0, (as long as there isn't another graphics card installed in your computer). - 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 3.0 of 3D Studio Max.) - System memory requirements Because of a limitation in Windows NT 4.0, you may experience problems if your computer doesn't have more system memory than the total amount of graphics memory used in your computer. To determine the amount of graphics memory used in your computer, add the total amount of graphics memory on each installed Matrox graphics card. Depending on your total amount of graphics memory, here are some recommended amounts of system memory for Windows NT 4.0: Graphics memory | System memory (total) | (recommended) -------------------+------------------ 32 MB | 64 MB or more 64 MB | 128 MB or more 128 MB | 192 MB or more 160 MB | 256 MB or more - Full-screen DOS support with multiple graphics chip If you have more than 10 graphics chips in your system (for example, 3 Matrox MMS-Quad cards), your system may stop responding when running a DOS program in full-screen mode. If your DOS program supports it, run it in a DOS window. [...English] Matrox TV-udlæsning =================== Visse modeller af Matrox-grafikkort understøtter TV-udlæsning. Med understøttelse af TV-udlæsning kan du se eller optage din computerskærm med et TV eller en videooptager, der er tilsluttet dit grafikkort. Anbefaling ---------- - Når du spiller spil, der bruger en TV-udlæsningsenhed, anbefaler vi, at du bruger en skærmopløsning på 640 x 480. Det skyldes, at opløsningen på de fleste TV er lavere end opløsningen på de fleste computerskærme. Hvis du bruger en højere opløsning (800 x 600 eller 1024 x 768), vises skærmbilledet på dit TV muligvis ikke så skarpt som på din computerskærm -- det betyder, at nogle af detaljerne er sværere at se på dit TV. - (til Matrox G100/G200-kort) Matrox' avancerede standardindstillinger for TV-udlæsning er velegnede til at vise det meste computergrafik (f.eks. computerspil eller dit Windows- skrivebord) på de fleste TV. Der er avancerede TV--udlæsningsindstillinger, som er baseret på broadcast-standarder, som er mere velegnede til visning af video på fuld skærm (f.eks. fra en videofil). Disse indstillinger er: NTSC Lysstyrke : 180 Kontrast : 234 Mætning : 137 Farvetone : 0 PAL Lysstyrke : 167 Kontrast : 255 Mætning : 138 Farvetone : 0 Bemærk: For at opnå de ideelle indstillinger skal du evt. også justere indstillingerne på dit TV. Standardindstillingerne for lysstyrke, kontrast, mætning og farvetone er højere på de fleste videoenheder i handlen end broadcast-standarderne. Disse indstillinger er normalt velegnede til visning af video, men er ikke velegnede i forbindelse med computergrafik. (Derfor er Matrox' standardindstillinger for TV-udlæsning lavere end idealet for video.) Der henvises endvidere til din TV-manual for oplysninger om, hvordan indstillingerne justeres på dit TV. Yderligere oplysninger ---------------------- Der henvises endvidere til Matrox-manualen og den tilhørende online- dokumentation for yderligere oplysninger om skærmindstillinger. Hvis du ønsker oplysninger om, hvordan du ændrer skærmopløsningen for et spil, du bruger, kan du se den tilhørende dokumentation. Bemærk: Matrox-funktionerne Zoom og Virtuelt skrivebord understøttes ikke i TV-udlæsningstilstand. Desuden understøttes TV-udgangstilstand ikke, hvis der er installeret flere end ét Matrox-grafikkort i computeren. [English...] Note: For TV output with full-screen DOS display modes under Windows NT 4.0, only text display modes (02h, 03h) are supported. DualHead notes ============== Certain Matrox graphics cards can use one graphics chip to control two separate displays -- this is the Matrox "DualHead" feature. If you have a DualHead-supporting graphics card, note the following under Windows NT 4.0: - DualHead software controls (on the Matrox PowerDesk "DualHead" property sheet) are only available if, when Windows NT 4.0 restarts, a secondary display is connected to your DualHead-supporting graphics card. For more information on DualHead software controls, see context-sensitive help. - The "VESA settings" option isn't available when you're using a TV as your secondary display. - With the "DualHead Multi-Display" feature, DirectDraw and OpenGL acceleration is available for the main and secondary displays of your DualHead-supporting graphics card. - With the "DualHead Multi-Display" feature, all displays in your system may be limited by the display capabilities of the secondary display of your DualHead-supporting graphics card. Specifically: - Only a 16- or 32-bit color palette is available. - The Matrox zoom feature (PixelTOUTCH) is unavailable. - The mouse pointer is drawn entirely by the software. As a result, the mouse pointer may flicker or disappear while it's in an area of the display that's being redrawn quickly (for example, a video window). - Because the secondary display doesn't support the "virtual display" feature, the maximum display resolution of a multi-display desktop is limited by the maximum display resolution of the secondary display. - If you have a DualHead supporting graphics card and you're using DualHead Multi-Display, Clone, or Zoom mode, digital video may appear as a solid color on your secondary display. This can happen if video is played using the hardware-overlay feature of your Matrox graphics card. Video played using the overlay feature is generally of higher quality but it can be viewed only on your main display. Because only one program at a time can use the overlay feature, any other program started while the overlay feature is used won't be able to use the feature. The overlay feature will be available to the first program to start after the program currently using the overlay is closed. For video that normally uses the hardware-overlay feature, you may be able to view the digital video on your secondary display by running another instance of the video player. For example, if you're viewing a file using the overlay feature with Microsoft Media Player, double-clicking on the file again starts another instance of the Media Player. This instance properly plays video on your secondary display. Then, you could close the first instance of the Media Player and still be able to view video on your secondary display. - The "DualHead Clone" feature is unavailable if your DualHead-supporting graphics card isn't controlling the primary display of your computer. The "primary display" of your computer is the one that first displays information when your computer restarts. For information on how to change which graphics card controls your primary display, see your system manual. - With the "DualHead Clone" feature, both the main and secondary display of your DualHead-supporting graphics card use the same monitor settings (specifically, the same vertical refresh rate). If your secondary display is a TV, the vertical refresh rate is determined by the TV standard selected on the Matrox PowerDesk "Monitor" property sheet (60 Hz for NTSC, 50 Hz for PAL). If your secondary display is a computer monitor, the "Monitor" property sheet isn't available. In this case, use the "Refresh Frequency" control on the "Settings" property sheet to change your vertical refresh rate. If you select a refresh rate or display resolution that isn't supported by either display, one or both displays may become garbled or unusable. - With the "DualHead Clone" feature, the virtual desktop feature is unavailable.
