G450 flickering desktop and tv-out with DVDmax
Hi,
I'm using a Matrox G450 AGP dualhead. Worked great on my previous system (a Pentium2). Now, i have upgraded my system (based on an Asus P4T533-C motherboard) Still, everything works great, except when I want to use the DVDmax function.
Now, everytime I open a videofile with a player (I've tried them all) to view the file on my tv, my desktop starts flickering (by flickering I mean: a 'transparent' bar rolling over the image, very fast, causing the flickering effect.). Also, the image on my tv suffers from a continuing flickering effect, even worse than my desktop.
I've tried different settings of my desktop, but as you mentioned somewhere else in this forum, I know that 1024*768/16bit is the best setting. There is a slight improvement when changing these settings... however, the flickering on my tv stays the same.
I've tried your latest drivers and I have updated the bios of my G450.
A strange thing happens when I start playing a game like Unreal Tournament. With the game fullscreen, there's no flicker but when I minimize the window, I get a flickering desktop again...
Help me... plz... you guys are my last hope
