Your Matrox card may be in a “slave” expansion slot on a computer that makes a distinction
between bus mastering and slave slots.

Solution
Change slots – Shut down your computer, disconnect it from the power supply, remove your
Matrox card and then insert it into a different PCI expansion slot. For instructions on how
to safely install your Matrox card,
see “Hardware installation”, page 4
.

Cause
Your computer may not have given an IRQ (interrupt request) to your Matrox graphics card
or may have given one used by another device in your computer. This may be because your
computer’s “Plug-and-Play” feature is turned off.

Change settings in your computer BIOS setup utility.
If your computer has the options of enabling Plug-and-Play detection, or assigning an IRQ
to a VGA adapter, make sure they’re enabled. If your computer doesn’t have these options,
you may be able to manually assign an IRQ to your graphics card using the BIOS setup utility.
For more information on the BIOS setup utility of your computer, see your system manual
or contact your system manufacturer.
