I got response from Matrox today. Does anyone know any more information ? Especially about the DUAL HEAD support for windows 2000. I wish they could give a better time frame answer. This is the last thing I need drivers for to make WIN2000 sing. Seems a shame to run a few months without TV, capture or dual head display.

Hello,
Unfortunately we still do not offer any support for this OS as we have no
final drivers released at this time. Complete drivers will be out shortly
with full support when using the final release of the OS. In the meantime,
please be sure to have the latest beta drivers from our web page for all
G200 and G400 cards and use the Windows 2000 internal drivers for all our
older cards (do not install drivers for NT4 or win9x into this OS). You
will be able to find some help in forums such as www.murc.ws while
waiting for our release drivers to be released. The latest beta drivers for
the G200 and G400 will include D3D and OpenGL functionality.
As for multi monitor support under windows2000, this OS treats the display
adapter per devices and not as two separate devices. Our G400 will
unfortunately only work as a virtual desktop for this time. Microsoft
should fix this issue in the next service pack to give these cards full
Multi monitor support.
Best Regards
John
