Matrox Millennium II for Mac – Installation Guide

For a table of refresh rates supported by your Millennium II card, 

see “Display information”, page 9

.

Virtual Desktops

Click this box to select a desktop area that’s larger than your on-screen work space (display area). 
While you’re using a virtual desktop and PanLOCK is off, move your mouse pointer to the edge of 
your display to scroll in that direction.

Features

Acceleration – 

Lets you turn Matrox acceleration on or off. This may help you find out if a 

specific problem is related to your Matrox card. If a problem persists after acceleration is turned 
off, the problem is probably not related to your Matrox card.

PanLOCK – 

Use this feature to turn panning on or off when parts of your desktop area are 

outside your view area (as with a virtual desktop or the PixelTOUCH zoom feature). When 
panning is on, you can move your mouse cursor to the edge of your view area to pan in that 
direction.

PixelTOUCH – 

Use this feature to zoom in on your display. You can select the ×1 (actual size), 

×2 or ×4 zoom factors. (The ×4 zoom factor is unavailable at display area resolutions 832 × 624 
and lower.)

Hot Keys

Use this feature to assign keyboard shortcuts for 

PanLOCK

 and 

PixelTOUCH

, and for opening the 

Matrox PowerDesk

 control panel.

Information

Click this box to see information related to your graphics card and how to contact Matrox customer 
support.

Note: When you change your monitor settings, your screen may flicker for a few seconds while 
the settings are being changed. If you select a refresh rate that your monitor doesn’t support, your 
display may become garbled or unusable. If this happens, press [Enter] and your previous refresh 
rate will be restored. If incorrect settings are applied, see 

“Troubleshooting”, page 11

.

WARNING: If incorrect software monitor settings are used, some

 

monitors can be permanently 

damaged. For more information, see your monitor manual.
