Well it doesn't here, and on top of that, the latest "official" GA 2.31
drivers are a mess too.

That's not your fault, ofcoz. What I baffles me  how on earth you are still
saying the Matrox are still the very best. On new  systems the Matrox have to
be avoided at all cost, due to the sucking drivers. That's a mere fact.

And try to remember: Warp 3 times are in the past already a long time ago. For 
now, the S3-Savage & nvideo cards ARE the best.

And you do now I'm in a position to compare the Matrox - S3 - and ATI. All of
them with the latest drivers. On three different systems. Well, it's clear and 
simple: The S3 are excellent, the ATI good, and the Matrox bad.
