Start here : http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/gxm/software/?os=2&product=71

Released 12/19, available for all operating systems. New verbose auto-config utility upon install. New icon too ! :D

Can't test it myself right now. Does it help with 5040/Vista issues, bezel management etc. ?

Well I installed the new suite and now I can't run 3x1440x900. I have an ATI 4870 and before the new suite I could display 1440x900 on all three screens. Any Ideas?

I can run single or dual screen @1440x900/screen but not three.

Hi,

I have tested the new driver. It only shows 1680X1050 at 55 htz, no more 57, and as i've tried this setting, my LG monitors stay in save mode, no way to come back at working setting.

So I had to reboot in safe mode. powerdesk refused to uninstall, si
I have changed the driver installation directory name. Now I can reuse my PC without Powerdesk.

Has anybody seen the same things ?

Works fine on my PC running XP, I haven't run Vista for ages.....since I dropped Tri-SLI cos of my new dual GTX coolers. I hoped that it would allow me to select 1920x1200 in games but no such luck still limited to 1680x1050. So I will keep swapping cables for CoD MP, BF etc.

this sucks. I was hoping that issue is fixed with the new software.
I'm in the same boat as you. but I "switch out put display" via software instead of switching cables.

only bad things some games don't work comming of dvi port #2.

Yeah I have a VGA cable from the VGA input on the centre monitor..it doesn't have 2xDVI. I switch it at the GPU end, cos my rig sits on my desk and is easy to get at.

Thanks for the link.

Now, does the suite contain anything special beyond what I already have installed (SGU, GXM)? If not, should I bother, since my system is working fine right now? (Don't have Vista or triple-wide)
