There is no distortion for bios post screen.

Hmm sounds good (at least if we get a bios update soon™)

We get something like this

. You can't even use a graphical boot manager because of it.

Wow! some of you seem to have different Parhelias than some of us have. I don't have any problems like that.

Hi KeiFront,
Is that any wrong with your P. Even my first 128m version P with the very begining version BIOS, there is no such BIOS distortion. You can post the problem to Matrox technical support forum and check whether there is any replacement for your P.

It is a known problem with certain BIOS logos.
There is a fix on the way for it.

**KeiFront** · 6 June 2003, 10:55

So, is it already fixed (and will the fix be released oneday through a bios update) or is there just a fix on the way soon™?

**Kruzin** · 6 June 2003, 14:38

The boot logo issue is already fixed, and should be in a future BIOS update.

**CoolioCat** · 6 June 2003, 20:14

A future bios update... *sigh* How long ago was THAT promised then... People were discussing this months ago.

**KeiFront** · 7 June 2003, 05:35

Thanks for the info Kruzin.

Update (for future reference): a new bios has been released that fixes the boot logo problem.

Alas it does not fix the boot logo problem, well at least not on my Parhelia / A7N8X Delux rev 2.00.
I just installed the latest PH drivers (2kxp_104_02_007.exe) and BIOS (setup_p103.exe) and the latest Asus BIOS (c18d1005.zip) and still the logo screen is similar to the image in KeiFront's posting above.
So I suppose we just have to wait till Asus / Matrox get round to sorting it out.

Did you try to run SystemLogoFix.exe that comes with that BIOS update ???

**pjaj** · 23 June 2003, 10:05

Duh!

Nobody told me I had to run that

Yup, that fixes the problem - what a pretty logo !

Thanks to everyone who helped.

That's why they provide a "readme.txt"
