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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

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.
