  • What happened to Cleartype or Font smoothing in the Matrox drivers?

    I was playing around with the new drivers tonight and noticed that the option for enabling Matrox's font smoothing wasn't in Powerdesk. What happened to it?
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

            I can't seem to find it in my options, wasn't available in the previous release either although it looks like its enabled juding by the "Welcome" screen when XP first boots...

              ...unless you are pulling our legs, GT, right, mine has glyph and gamma over colors and you don't. In that respect, the last driver version showed the same as now on my machine.

              So the question is, what is the common element between the haves, on one side, and the have-nots on the other. Nothing hits me in the sigs.
              How can you possibly take anything seriously?
              Who cares?

                Who installed the drivers over the old ones, and who uninstalled the old ones before installing the new ones?
                That could be the difference...

                  Maybe the difference is the OS. I have Win2K and I don't have the Glyph option.
                  I should have bought an ATI.

                    ...I ALWAYS uninstall the old driver before installing the new one. A long time ago I didn't, and usually had some remnants on the machine that popped up problems at the wierdest times...

                      I believe that's due to something else, but then again I don't pay much attention to it I do know through trial and error that the Glyph AA only works on 14pt fonts or bigger, which of course the Welcome screen would apply there. Though I tend to think thkat's just a picture, and not a display. Then again if I'm wrong, it would be kind of fun to change it to "Hey you bastard" or something like that

                        Well my machine just went though a fresh reinstall of XP last night with the new drivers.

                          I can see that setting too... maybe you should try to reinstall the drivers

                              Hey guys...

                              I noticed the same thing...Under my triple-head configuration, that option was no longer there!

                              However, I then switched to dual-head mode, rebooted, and then checked it again.

                              ...and what do ya' know? The option was there!

                              I'm sorta thinking that the feature/option may be dependent on certain modes? Maybe it's not possible to use it in triple-head mode vs. dual-head? Or it could very well be a bug...
