Booting

There is one known problem, where the display is distorted while the Matrox card is displaying the BIOS screen at boot. They seem to have a disagreement as to what VESA? modes are appropriate while in the BIOS. Yes, looks like some compatibility problem. It is not only a screen problem. I can't make any changes in BIOS at all, and it is a POST problem. And it is some problem in my Windows 2000 with GIF images (256 colors). Look at this images here http://w1.857.telia.com/~u85704001/matrox/ A lot of dots in the images. And I got a dotted vertical line to the right of the mouse cursor. Matrox has new BIOS files, for flashing their video cards he http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/dr...bios/home2.cfm For Windows, there is this file for the P750 and friends: ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive...setup_p105.exe It is a self extracting Winzip file, and inside is a README.txt with some instructions. You might want to Google, using some of the names of the programs in that ZIP file, for more details as to what they are for. I tried all that and have latest BIOS and latest drivers for my Matrox card. Tried the "SystemLogoFix.exe" and "SystemLogoColorFix.exe" Matrox also has a user forum: http://forum.matrox.com/mga/index.php http://forum.matrox.com/mga/viewtopic.php?t=3832 Matrox staff man the forums M-F 9-5 from Dorval Quebec Canada, and if the question hasn't already been answered, they can respond to a post in the forum. There should be some posts about this problem with P750/P650 and so you should be able to read about how successful these BIOS updates are at solving the problem. Thank you for the links. Many have the same problem and the tips Matrox gave does not help me. I think my new Matrox card is faulty in some way. Maybe some design fault. |
