Can find a way of using both MARVEL and MILLENNIUM Matrox cards
Hi guys,
I'm begining to be disappointed with my idea of getting my two matrox cards working together at the same time.
Some history:
At the begining I had my old and nice Millennium matrox card installed on my previous computer (a TX430 chipset motherboard with a 233 MMX Intel CPU)and every thing was fine.
But, later a had to buy a new system, with a higher CPU, a better video card, more memory, a newer motherboard, and so on...
So, now I have a K7V motherboard with a Athlon 700 cpu, a new Matrox Marvel card, an old Millennium Matrox card, 192 MB do PC100 RAM, and all the necessary things one need to have a good system working.
The problem now is:
I would like to get both these two cards working on my system and it seems I can find the way to.
I put the Marvel card (mounted on the AGP slot) can work in DualHead multi-display but in the end it can see the other display that is connected to the millenium card (mounted on PCI slot with the switch2=ON).
I have one display connected to the Marvel card by the normal 15-pin video connector and the second display connected to the other card by an equal video connector. The Marvel box is not connected to anything but to the Marvel card by the hard black cable it self.
The Device Manager doesn't show any installation problem what so ever.
My question:
How can make this two cards working togheter, if it's real possible to do it.
My OS is the Windows 98SE.
By the way:
I still want to use all the features ofered by the Matrox Marvel Box.
...and may the force be with you.
