(1) If problems are experienced installing Matrox display drivers with NT4, ensure
any old Matrox display drivers are uninstalled and Microsoft Service pack 3 is
reinstalled before installing Matrox Flat panel display drivers.
(2) Some games (Battle Zone) have been found to not correctly read the flat panel
display size during startup menus. These show a mismatch between mouse position
and icon position.
(3) Applications using graphics Direct-X or open-GL using double buffering and/or
Z-buffer on T85D flat panel, are recommended to install additional 8Mb SD-RAM
option on the graphics adapter card.
