IBM PC300XL/IBM IntelliStation M Pro - MATROX Graphics Adapter (MGA) tips
Applicable to: World-Wide
Below is a list of items and corrections that should be considered when installing or configuring the Matrox Millenium video adapter in the IBM D/T6588 and D/T6888 systems.
ZA4T11A:
The WindowsNT 3.51 driver README file contains inadequate information regarding the use of multiple monitors.
In order to operate multiple monitors, only one adapter may be VGA enabled. To disable VGA mode, switch 2 must be set to the ON position (switch moved toward components on the video card) on one of the adapters.
After the hardware and video drivers are installed, multiple monitor support is achieved by selecting the appropriate resolution. Multiple monitor resolution selections are those resolutions that contain a size DOUBLE the standard for one side and STANDARD for the other. For example, selecting a resolution of 1600x600 causes two side-by-side monitors to appear as one with a normal resolution of 800x600.
ZA1T12A:
The OS/2 Warp 3.0 video driver version 2.04.039 README file is inadequate for switching the display driver from MGA mode back to VGA mode.
After selecting "Primary Display-VGA", the pop-up screen asks for Display Driver Diskette #1 to be inserted. Instead, insert the OS/2 Warp CD and point to the OS2IMAGE subdirectory to continue.
ZA3T16A:
The Windows 95 video driver version 3.20.55 README file contains two inaccurate statements.
In the README file under "Installation", it is stated that Setup will ask you for the path where to install the Power Desk programs. This option is not available during a typical install as indicated. It is only available during a custom install.
In the README file under "Notes, Problems, and Limitations", the "VESA Modes" section states that a 32k Color Depth is available when using an IBM P200 or IBM P201 display. This color depth will not be available when selecting either of these displays.
