IBM IntelliStation Z Pro/PC Server 315 - Video corruption in Windows NT 3.51 games

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 and PCServer315 (8638) systems with a Matrox Millennium Graphics adapter installed may exhibit video corruption while running either Solitaire or Freecell games included with Windows NT 3.51.

The corruption may appear at various points in either of the games when the video resolution is configured for 800x600x32K or 800x600x64K, at any refresh rate.

Problem Isolation Aids :
The failure occurs with Matrox Millennium video device driver version 2.21.063.

In the Solitaire game, after all cards are removed from the pull stack, a black box remains. Moving cards around the screen causes traces of the card image to remain on the screen.

The failure does not occur at 800x600x16M colors or at 640x480, 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolutions.

The native Windows NT video drivers do not exhibit the failure.

Fix :
Configure the video resolution of the Matrox Millennium adapter to 800x600x16M colors or a higher or lower resolution or use the native Windows NT video drivers.
