    Abstract:  IBM PC300XL/IBM PC6888 MATROX GRAPHICS ADAPTER (MGA) TIPS


  TEXT:
  Below is a list of items and corrections that should be
  considered when installing or configuring the Matrox Millenium
  video adapter in the IBM D/T6588 and D/T6888 systems.
  ================================================================
  #1 The WindowsNT 3.51 driver README file contains inadequate
     information regarding the use of multiple monitors.

     In order to operate multiple monitors, only one adapter
     may be VGA enabled. To disable VGA mode, switch 2 must be
     set to the ON position (switch moved toward components on
     the video card) on one of the adapters.

     After the hardware and video drivers are installed, multiple
     monitor support is achieved by selecting the appropriate
     resolution. Multiple monitor resolution selections are
     those resolutions that contain a size DOUBLE the standard
     for one side and STANDARD for the other. For example,
     selecting a resolution of 1600x600 causes two side-by-side
     monitors to appear as one with a normal resolution of
     800x600.
  ================================================================
  #2 The OS/2 Warp 3.0 video driver version 2.04.039 README file
     is inadequate for switching the display driver from MGA mode
     back to VGA mode.

     After selecting "Primary Display-VGA", the pop-up screen
     asks for Display Driver Diskette #1 to be inserted. Instead,
     insert the OS/2 Warp CD and point to the  OS2IMAGE
     subdirectory to continue.
  ================================================================
  #3 The Windows95 video driver version 3.20.55 README file
     contains two inaccurate statements.


     In the README file under "Installation", it is stated that
     Setup will ask you for the path where to install the Power
     Desk programs. This option is not available during a typical
     install as indicated. It is only available during a custom
     install.

     In the README file under "Notes, Problems, and Limitations",
     the "VESA Modes" section states that a 32k Color Depth is
     available when using an IBM P200 or IBM P201 display. This
     color depth will not be available when selecting either of
     these displays.
