I have a new motherboard and processor and now I am having problems with my Matrox card (G400) with Windows XP and the latest drivers. Once in a while the display becomes a bit fuzzy and everything hangs. Sometimes this happens after a few minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. It only happens when...

I am new to Linux. I just built myself a machine with a G400 Max and Rainbow Runner G series I found on ebay. So far, I have got dri working with XFree86 4.3 and have the mga_hal binary also. I am now trying to figure out how to use the Rainbow Runner card. I'd like to be able to watch TV and...

I'm looking at upgrading mainboards and the one i'm looking at says 1.5v video card only. I'm pretty sure the G400 is 1.5, but can't remember. The m/b is a ASUS P4B533. thanks

My G400 Max's fan is getting noisy. Is it possibly to run the card without the fan?

What's G400 Max's optimum refresh rate? I'm running 1600 x 1200 at 85Hz (monitor recommended resolution and refresh rate) on my 22" CRT NEC FP2141SB and it's giving me headache. Now I moved up to 104Hz. It's better but still not that comfortable to stare at. Any thoughts or it's time to upgrade...

What's the difference between these 2 modes? I can't tell much difference in terms of pic quality and speed.

From time to time when I click on the taskbar button (ungrouped with a few windows opened), nothing happens and the corresponding screen will not come to the top. I have the latest G400 Max drivers installed. Is this a Matrox specific or XP bug?

What are some obvious physical differences between the two cards? Thanks, Ken

Hello. I've got a Matrox G400 single head. I've long had this problem with it: the loading of many 'bitmaps' on screen (such as in a browser, the skins of MSN Messenger, Asusprobe, the icons in Corel Draw, Windows Media Player etc) can prevoke a strange "out of resources" problem, where the screen...

Hi Guys, I have an older machine Pent 233, 800~ meg RAM (RAM seems more important than CPU most of the time) with a G400 and a Rainbow runner card. I am playing with SUSE Linux. I am trying to get TV reception going with these cards using Linux. Is this too hard? Linux newbie Gorby

I have a G400 that got two small condensers ripped off by accident. I can replace them but I have no idea of the value of c152 and c153. Does anyone knows? -- Catherine Do you have a little green man?

Well, i had bury my G400 today after many great years of service. Either my monitor took out the video card or the card took out the monitor because neither of them work any more. Luckily one of my spare computers had a G400Max in it, so now its in the primary one. I just may have to spring for...

Hello, I've got a g400, runs very well. Except the matrox utils (vbetsr, vbesetup) don't work with g400's. But the card has vesa 3.0, so I've tried using vbehz 2.23 Vbehz is able to raise the rates. But it never gives me the rates I ask for. It's as though it can't do the math right,...

Hi, Finally got around to installing Windows XP on my old PIII 650 with a G400Max. Using driver package 5.88.061. I now have a weird effect that I notice when scrolling through text/images using Internet Explorer and Outlook Express Newsgroups. As I scroll up and down the screen the right hand...

I have an ageing system ! Im using a G400 dualhead through Win98. Ive started using DIVX format and would like to be able to watch this on a widescreen TV using the DualHead facility. The existing settings only seem to allow this for DVD format. Is there any way to allow DIVX/AVI or indeed any...

Hi I have a G400 Max running at 1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz. Will it support 2 displays at this resolution and refresh rate? TIA Mark

I'd like to move my computer into my livingroom and access it with IR keyboard and mouse. I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me if I can connect my G400MAX to my TV so as to use my TV as the computer monitor. Using the TV as the only video output. My card has "dual-head" capability, as I'm sure...

Good day, all. I've just installed a new system, and unfortunately had to move from 98se to XP. I've carried my G400-TV over and, while it's mostly working, I have a problem that I can't resolve. My cable system (Comcast) transmits channels 5 and 6 slightly off-target on frequency. On our...
