running windows xp and need dual desktop. will millennium g450 work? i want 2 monitors to show 1 desktop. is that called dual desktop? thanks.

I'd like to get a low-profile G550 PCI (AGP is not an option with the HTPC I have to work with). The idea config would be to run a DVI-connected flat panel at 1200x1024 **and** run Svideo/NTSC to the TV set. I'd be using PowerDesk to lock the media player to the TV out in full-screen mode. Is...

this may be a dumb question but can i use 2 vga monitors with a Pahelia card?

My G450 is not detected on my new homebuilt computer - Biostar Nforce2 board, Athlon XP1700+, running Windows XP Pro. I had an old Nvidia card in there that worked fine, but the computer will not recognize the G450. I've tried two G450s, the result is the same - cannot be found. When I add the...

.... bought a new monitor !!! All problems went away :-) Posted on this last week: symptoms were .. DOS level games very dark. RTCW showed no video brightness control, and was also very dark. All OpenGL games very dark. I could correct that problem using the Quake Engine console commands. All...

After exploring multi-monitor options it seem I am constantly referred to Matrox products. Presently I am running " Presently running a system equipped with a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 4X 64 MB dual head card, running two monitors." This system was built for me maybe two years or so ago. At this point I...

Hi, I have a g450 running on a win98se machine, and when I execute dxdiag, the following results for 'Display Memory' yield a blank space. Does anyone know why this does not list the available memory? Thanks, Mark

I am trying to get TV out under linux but no luck. I'm looking for help to get a cloned output on the TV out port. Richard

I've just had a problem which you may find interesting and useful to know. On doing a reload of an Asus A8V Deluxe with the P650, all was well until the final load into "full" windows when "no signal" appeared on the Viewsonic XP171b TFT screen. Thinking I may have done something stupid, i...

Hi guys, just sitting here and looking at those geogerous Apple Cinema displays ...30 inches! Wow! Now being on the a PeeCee, then it would be cool to be able to run one of these. Does anyone know and have they tried to hook on of these up to a Parhelia ???

Question for all, My brother just bought a new system with an Asus P4P800 VM mainboard. See http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800-VM&Type=Latest for details He also got an Matrox Parhelia videocard. ( http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/parhelia/128mb.cfm )

It looks as if Matrox have closed their support forums. A serious loss particularly as they have not even left it in read only so we can browse the old messages. A very bad move on the part of Matrox who always had a good name for their openness and helpful replies. Where will everyone go now...

I'm using the G550 in a restaurant with a projector as 2nd screen. Love most of its features, which I've found to be superior to Nvidia software in the end (for my current needs). Two questions/problems... 1) Movies are being projected to the left side of the 2nd monitor (projection screen)....

I have recently upgraded to windows XP only to discover that Matrox is failing to provide appropriate customer support for the Marvel g400 - though I love their products I think their customer support stinks. Anyway, now my card can still capture video but no TV-out or dual-head. Is there...

After much tweaking, some phone support and a lot of fresh reinstallation work, the symptoms are worse now than when first installed. This card was installed with capturing analogue video in mind and that is all that I have attempted to do. I do not currently have a camera or other DV input device...

Please let me know if anyone is uing this great video card with any of the above OS's - especially on dual monitors. TIA!!!

I just set up two monitors on this pc for the first time. Using a 19" 1280x1024 LCD through DVI cable as main monitor, and a 19" CRT set to 1280x960 as secondary. Dual monitoring is set to use "separate resolution and color palettes...etc", but I can't find any tab for adjusting colors for the...
