  • Any luck with G200 & Creative Dxr2 card?

    Well... I have a "small" problem...

    I've stuck a Dxr2 mpeg decoder in one rig with a G200 and it won't play DVD's on the desktop... Everything else is there, but the video window is empty... You can even click on the selectors in the DVD menu, or better, empty space where they should be
    Dxr2 comes with that VGA feature connector cable and it seems it isn't compatible with G200. Is there a workaround, or should I be banging my head to the wall and continue clicking on the empty window?

    Besides, everything else is there... TV out and audio out (both SPDIF and analog) is working, so it's still very much usable, but the black screen in windoze is killing me...

    The internal connector on Matrox cards are not standard VGA feature connectors. They are there for their own expansion cards (like RR-G).

    If your Dxr has a pass-through cable, that's what you need to use. The Dxr2 I had did work with my G200 through a pass-through, but I ended up yanking it anyway, cause the G200 did fine on it's own, and the pass-through degraded the image too much...
