Note: The Matrox display driver for Windows 98 supports multiple displays. However,
Matrox PowerDesk features are disabled in multi-display mode. To change your display
settings while in multi-display mode, use Windows controls. For more information on multi-
display mode, see Windows 98 online help under “Multiple Display support”. Windows 95
doesn’t support multiple displays.
Note: In multi-display mode, each monitor has its own monitor settings.
Note: Many Plug-and-Play monitors don’t automatically report if they’re capable of
1152 × 864 or 1600 × 1200 and higher display resolutions. To use these resolutions, or higher
refresh rates than those reported by the monitor, you can use the Matrox monitor selection
method.
WARNING: If incorrect software monitor settings are applied, some monitors can be
permanently damaged. For more information, see your monitor manual.
