MOC

[GothicNazi]

just curious what settings everyone was using in the powerdesk and advanced options in the MOC utility

what improvements, if any, do the different options add? I have had some bad experiences playing around with them and was just curious if anyone would like to help.

I have a list of all the registry settings,
but don't have (yet) the full description.
Treat this list as Work-In-Progress document.

get it @ members.xoom.com/mr_stranger/mo.html)

hope this list will be corrected by someone
like kruzin, phoenix, etc...

p.s. this list of options is valid for v 4.51 of the PowerDesk ONLY, although some of them are sure exist in the other driver versions...

Hi Alexander,

nice job you did there

I could update your missing options, but withthe upcoming build (PD5.x) the location and flags have changed ...

If you still wnat to fiddle a bit with PD4.x, open up regedit, goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Matrox\PowerDesk\Curre nt Settings], create a string called 'ShowMeAllMatrox', set it to '1' and check your PowerDesk-options ...

Now there are a couple of more entries in red letters

maybe some explanations:

BES = Back End Scaler ... hardware accelerated filtering when playing video files in fullscreen mode

IndeoAsYUV = same as above for Indeo codecs

Anisotropic filtering is not supported since PD 4.26

32b Zbuffer changes between 32bit (1) and 16bit (0)

D3DRendering = Subpixel accuracy (on/off)

Analog Joystick is a remain of older gfx cards and is the predecessor of Busmastering (leave at default !)

Thanks for the info, Maggi. I have updated the page accordingly.

By the way, don't you know about how to become a matrox beta-tester ?

[Alexander Dubeniuk]

To Maggi:
can you please post the 5.x flags (which you know, of course)?

i will include it in the separate table,
for "old" 4.x drivers and for "new" 5.x ...

Hi Alex,

maybe when it's released ... (NDA)

Thanks anyway, Maggi.

Btw, is (NDA) ends after matrox releases drivers to the public?
