Kris Steenhaut made noise to Bas Heijermans:

Hi Kris,

 ET>>>> I'm running the Matrox v2.21 video driver at 1280x102 at
 ET>>>> 32-bits.

 KS>>> The 2.21 don't work anymore here, probably coz they don't cope
 KS>>> with the 2.6 bios and FP9.

 ET>> I'm using the Matrox BIOS v2.3

 MR>> He is making statements about HIS system. Mine works fine
 MR>> with 2.22.078 and BIOS 2.6. And it worked with 2.21 also.

 BH> I had problems too with the 2.22 and 2.23 drivers,

 KS> ?? Didn't  I hear you saying one day someones "weird CD-rom"
 KS> was the culprit, lately? :-)

????

 BH>  those are a mess,
 BH> like locking up the WPS and other things. My observation learned me
 BH> that all drivers below 2.22 are working fine with BIOS 2.6.

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

Havn't tested them.

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

You are making a fool of yourself.

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

For your information, Warp 3 and 4 have the same video model, so what's your
point????

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

You havn't tested the latest Ati cards have you?
You should stop messing arround with beta's, lousy Dani's drivers and other
rubbish, then your system would work stable like everywhere else.

Warp3SMP,

Bas Heijermans.
