Support for Windows 7 (XDDM mode)

This display driver package supports Windows 7 (XDDM mode). Note: Windows 7 – For improved stability under Windows 7 (XDDM mode), you must install the Microsoft KB980731 hot fix. For more information and to download the hot fix, visit and http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=980731&kbln=en-us.

Fixed issues:

• While using Matrox QID, MPEG-1 video clip appeared discolored when played on Windows Media Player 9. [20303]
• If connecting three or four monitors to your Matrox P690 PCIe product using a quadanalog cable, your second and fourth displays may flicker slightly every 15 to 30 seconds. [23050]

Notes and limitations:

• When using stereo glasses in a multi-display or multi-card setup, stereo is supported only on the first display, using either stretched or clone mode.
• Full-screen programs designed for versions of DirectX earlier than 8.0 may not support horizontal display resolutions higher than 2048. While using multiple displays in stretched mode, the horizontal resolution of each display is combined (for example, a combined triple monitor resolution could be as high as 3840 × 1024). As a result, the stretched mode resolutions you can use with such programs may be limited to resolutions lower than what your graphics hardware and display driver can support. Selecting an unsupported resolution within a program may cause the program to quit unexpectedly.
• While using OpenGL hardware acceleration, we recommend you close your OpenGL software before changing your display setup (for example, refresh rate, display resolution, or color depth). You may experience problems if OpenGL software is running while your display setup is changed.
• Under Windows XP/Vista, certain Direct3D programs may not properly support some multi-card configurations.
