<li>If the driver does not load make sure you enabled 'assign IRQ to VGA card' in your system BIOS;

<li>Expansion RAM modules are not supported as far as I know;
<li>Special versions of G200 apparantly have colorpalette problems (Marvel, Matrox MMS cards like the HP VisualizeFX ). Use them in 32bit mode; overlay and hardware cursor should be OK.
<li>G400 cards have overscanning rubbish visible on the top of the screen if spaces with virtual height are used on the secondary head in monitor mode. This cannot be fixed decently, and is caused by a MAVEN hardware design fault.

OK, now that's all said let's get to it ;-)<br>

In contrary to what I have said before you don't need to de-install official Be drivers for this driver to work correctly. This driver will install in the user part of the BeOS, so not in the system part where the official drivers are.<br>
BeOS first checks (during boot) if there are 'user-addons' that should be loaded for a device. If not, it loads it's own drivers (if any). You can select which driver should be loaded by hitting the spacebar as soon as the BeOS 'icons' screen appears. If you select <strong>disable user addons</strong> the system will load it's own drivers. If you don't do anything, the system will load the (open)BeOS Matrox graphics driver.<br>

<br>
Since BeOS only supports all Matrox cards upto and including G400 you will end up in VGA grayscale videomode if you have a G450 or G550. Otherwise, you will have a normal colorfull Desktop. Only BeOS will be using it's own official drivers in this case...<br>
<strong>Note:</strong> This might turn out to be handy if you run into trouble upon testing the driver, or if you are 'tweaking' the mga.settings file...<br>

Please read this information carefully *before* installing and using the Haiku Matrox MGA driver. It might spare you some trouble afterwards..<br>
<p>The driver uses a file named <strong>mga.settings</strong> to determine how to use your card. After installation this file will be located at <strong>home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/</strong>. How you should setup this file depends on what you want to do with the driver. While it has a 'failsave' default configuration, you might be able to do better than that... Anyway, read the nifty details below.<br>

<strong>Note:</strong> The driver only reads this file during it's initialisation. This means that you have to reboot in order to let changes take effect.<br>

<strong>Notes:</strong>
<ul>
<li>If you want to use standard (Desktop) TVout or dualhead modes, you need <strong>dualheadSetup</strong>. You can download this <a href="http://www.bebits.com/app/1401" target="blank">application</a> from BeBits.
<li>If you want to use the VCD or DVD dualhead clone (Video) TVout modes on G400 with driver V0.15 and up, or on G450 or G550 with driver V0.14 and up, you can download a simple command-line tool called <strong>VideoScreen</strong> for now from the <a href="http://web.inter.nl.net/users/be-hold/BeOS/MGAdriver/tools.html#tools">tools</a> page on the (open)BeOS Matrox MGA driver site. For driver V0.15 and up you need the updated V6 version of this tool.
<li>If you want to use TVout or Dualhead modes, you need <strong>Dualhead Setup V0.04 or later</strong>. You can download this <a href="http://www.bebits.com/app/1401" target="blank">application</a> from BeBits.

<li>Added support for MMS cards by letting non-primary adaptors use the BIOS from the primary adaptor if they don't have their own. Confirmed a G200MMS working OK on all four heads using the 'test harness' application from Be's R4 graphics driver kit. A big thanks to Cale Lewis for donating this card!
