Just curious... have you looked to see just what was change in the 2.30/2.31
Matrox drivers vs the 2.23 release?

Here's a hint... do you have a G-400 AGP card, for which both the 2.30 and
2.31 betas were released?

In short, Matrox never claimed (to my knowledge) that the leatest *BETA*
drivers would do anything for your hardware (or my G-200, for that matter)!
And, they specifically asked that at least the 2.31 version *NOT BE
DISTRIBUTED* by the guy who uploaded them to Hobbes (and by everyone else to
whom the sent them, I assume). One can only assume it is to prevent complaints 
by folks like yourself who don't even have the hardware that they were written 
for.

I mentioned it earlier in the hardwaree list, but I'll say it again here.  I
sincerely hope that some day EVERYONE will understand what "BETA" means, but
I'm not optimistic.  This is one thing that makes me a big fan of closed btas, 
even if it does somewhat limit the user population.
