I also have a Matrox MillenniumII 4 Meg PCI. I have a vendor suppling
a Win/95-Win3 program. I run it under OS/2-Win. With the Matrox I have
trouble with video, but different than you are having.
When I have it using a full screen, I get good fast graphics, but when
I alt/Exc to the desktop it is OK. But when I return to the program I
get corruption. It is not too bad since I can Alt/Exc to the desktop[
and open window and then close the program.
It work properly in a OS/2-Win window. The problem their is that the
meter is pegged at 100% since I cannot set the program to not operate
in the background. I can close the program and Keep OS/2-Win and it will
let the meter go to 0%. But not the program since a window cannot have 
etting
to go to background.
Any idea's as to the fix for this. I love my Matrox but the OS/2-win
problem is unacceptable.
Thanks for you help.
Jim
