Matrox ATC – User Guide
19
2
Cause
Windows 2000/XP
– If the Windows method for display driver installation was used (instead
of running the setup program included with your Matrox display driver), the driver may not
be installed for all the graphics cards it supports.
1
Solution
Run the setup program included with the Matrox display driver. The setup program
automatically installs the display driver for each Matrox graphics card it supports.
Problem
In multi-display mode, displays aren’t numbered consecutively
1
Cause
If you have more than one graphics card in your computer, the
display numbering may not be consecutive for the displays of a
multiple-display card (for example, a DualHead supporting
card). Display numbering depends on the types of expansion slots used in your computer
(AGP and PCI) and the BIOS settings of your computer.
