the manufacturer of your computer is more likely to be tested with your computer model.

If you identify a program that doesn’t work well with Matrox acceleration, please
contact Matrox technical support (
see page 49
) and describe the problem. This
information may help us come up with a fix or work-around in a future driver release.
