Hi Peter, I realize this is a month later... but going back through messages I found yours.
Well, I can confirm this behavior as well with the product now having just gotten the card in one of our nodes to try. I haven't tried that resolution though, but have the screen corruption you talked about. Did it happen with any other application besides Vic?Any fix to this problem? Seemed to duplicate from screens 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. So we had to resort to the stretch mode and since our setup was just 2 projectors and 2 monitors we went with 2x2 such that the windows taskbar stayed on the operator monitors and had to drag stuff "up" to the projectors. Annoying for me, but worked. Which OS were you doing this on? Thanks, John Q. -- John I.

It works fine in the horizontal stretch mode, but in the multiscreen mode the vic windows corrupt the screens all over with screen courruption occuring as you drag windows around. We tried to use the multiscreen mode, so we could have1 screen for the control monitor at a lower res than the other 3 screens. Also the pci express driver dont support 1400x1050 which is comon in new projectors today. I emailed matrox repeatedly about them upgrading thier drivers to correct the problem, but all i get from them is that "they are not aware on any problems with the product". This is what i call "weasonable" behavior Peter What Matrox card did you get that you weren't happy with? We recently got a Matrox QID card (AGP) in our node and it works great. 4 x DVI outputs. We have a Matrox Millenium P650 PCI to drive the 'operators console' TFT, so it's a 5 display machine.

All of our display machines are G5's - so we just add a second dual display card to get 4 outputs, which works well. However, for a Windows display computer, I'm not sure this would work. Any recommendations?? Thanks, Todd -- Derek Piper - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> - (812) 856 0111 IRI 323, School of Informatics Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana
