FWIW, in this room I have 3 machines running. In none of them is the
motherboard over 1 year old (two of them are less that 4 months old). ALL
three of them run Matrox video, two of them with Matrox drivers, and have
never seen most of the problems you've expounded on ad nauseam.

I did have problems with Netscape, and (wonder of wonders), a new release of
Netscape, NOT a new driver release fixed them!
