Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] (ish) Matrox G400 problems...

Chaps,

looking for some assistance with a Matrox G400 card under XP Pro...

Didn't realise I had a problem until Mark & Keith came to stay last
month, -

Mark bought a selection of Divx's with him, and when I tried to play them
on

my "media" machine, the movie was not showing up on the screen...
(TV in the

lounge) - Win XP's media player would open, but there's just a blank where
the movie should be..

Went through numerous hoops thinking that I didn't have the right codecs
installed (The sound was OK), before discovering that it was showing 
perfectly well on the other monitor connected to the other port on the
card.

(the other monitor is in the cellar, and out of sight...)

It used to work fine under W2K pro, but obviously I'm now using different
drivers from the Matrox website.

The card is set in dualhead clone mode. - Interestingly, if I set it in
DVD-Max mode, The movie plays fine on the TV screen, but is locked in 
full-screen mode, and I'm damned if I can find a way to get back to the XP
desktop!

Anyone got any pointers before I go through a tortuous process of trial
& 
error? (mostly error probably!)

Cheers guys.

Paul G.
