Release description
===================

This is the Matrox Windows NT display driver for Parhelia graphics 
cards. It supports Microsoft Windows NT for x86 CPU's, version 4.0 
(Build 1381 -- or later).

This product includes:

- Display driver
- Matrox PowerDesk for Windows NT 4.0


Installation
============

To install your Matrox display driver and Matrox PowerDesk 
software, start the included "Setup" program, then follow the 
on-screen instructions.

The setup program will only install software if a Matrox graphics 
card model supported by the setup program is installed in your 
computer.


Using Matrox PowerDesk
======================

For more information on using Matrox PowerDesk software, see the 
PowerDesk guide ("online.doc") included with this software.


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

- Service Pack 4 or later recommended

  To avoid potential problems, we recommend you install Service 
  Park 4 (or later) for Windows NT 4.0.

- Problems after installing a new graphics card

  Due to a known problem in Windows NT 4.0, Windows may not 
  restart properly the first time after a new graphics card is 
  installed. For example, Windows may restart in VGA mode (640 x 
  480 resolution, 16 colors) or the display may go blank. Because 
  of a work-around in the Matrox display driver, restarting your 
  computer a second time may resolve the problem. However, if you 
  experience this problem, we recommend you add the "/PCILOCK" 
  switch to the "boot.ini" file of Windows. Add this after 
  "Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" under "[operating 
  systems]".

- OpenGL support

  Note the following limitations related to the OpenGL (3D) driver 
  included with your Matrox display driver:

    - Hardware acceleration isn't supported while using an 8 bpp 
      (256 colors) color palette.

    - If your Matrox software was provided by the manufacturer of 
      your computer, full OpenGL support may be disabled with your 
      Matrox display driver. For a Matrox display driver with full 
      OpenGL support enabled, see the Matrox Web site 
      (www.matrox.com/mga). (If your Matrox product was provided 
      by the manufacturer of your computer, check the Web site of 
      that manufacturer for a display driver. A display driver 
      provided by the manufacturer of your computer is more likely 
      to be tested with your computer model.)

    - In multi-display mode under Windows NT 4.0, OpenGL 
      acceleration is only available if DualHead or TripleHead 
      graphics hardware is the only graphics hardware you're using.

    - 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.
