[MatroxG400MAX]

Someone have tried the driver version 490 ?
I have The Beta 3 release 2031 and don't work ....

[Francois]

No problems here. I use RC2 (build 2128) though. I Just installed this driver, so I don't have any other info yet.

MatroxG400MAX, try without any of your PCI/ISA stuff. I got BSOD when I had my awe64 gold in...

During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner."

Whatever they changed from the NT4 drivers, Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4 still BSODs on the G400 driver. It used to be mga64.dll, now it is g400.dll.

Sucks...

P2c-300a/450, 192MB PC125 SDRAM, Quantum Fireball Plus KA 18.2GB 7200rpm, Panasonic 7502B x4/x8 Ultra SCSI CD-R, Tekram DC-390U2W Ultra2Wide SCSI controller, Diamond MX300 (Vortex2), Creative Labs AWE64 Gold Sound Blaster, A-Trend Voodoo II 12MB, Matrox Millennium G400Max, 19" Hitachi SuperScan 752, Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel and some other fancy stuff

The only thing they changed was the installation procedyre (you can select the other option now) and software OGL for applications. and added a BSOD if you have a SB awe64 in

And for them to do this it took a month of whining and harrasing, and finally some wiseguy in the Matrox leaderhut said "hey, I heard someone said the NT 4.0 drivers could actually work in win2k, why don't we post THEM as a win2k driver?".

Smart move, Matrox. Now I get one less warning when I install drivers, and I can finally use OGL preview in Lightwave 3D. Now how about multimonitor support and defaulting refreshrate to highest monitor can handle? Damn it can't be that hard, when it's already in winNT and win9x??? Just port it over or something...

My monitor have 12 saveable settings and that's only enough for one 85Hz setting in the resolutions I play games...

End of Ant Rant...

I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.

Im tired of trying to pretend I understand what every goddamn geekaoloid acronym means. Would you mind spelling it out for us poor people who cant read your mind? What the hell is BSOD???

and added a BSOD if you have a SB awe64 in

I bet you thought it was some kind of java visualisation with EMBM for eh?

win2k's BSOD's look kinda tough... like cool or something

That reminds me of something KvH, I've always wondered what ROTFLMA (or something similar) means.

I know it's related to laughing though...

[Wombat]

Well,
FYI it's ROTFLMAO, rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

TTFN,
Wombat

[tish beta2]

rolling on the floor laughing ... got it. TYVMFCTM.
now, FYI is easy but what does TTFN mean?

[Holerith]

It's a very old British saying.

TTFN = ta ta for now

on 2128 the driver totally screws up my color pallet. the NT4 driver runs perfectly stable.

[tish beta2]

your colour pallet? is that in photoshop or something?
