Well, you had it right about Matrox: their drivers really suck, no matter what 
bios the card is on, no matter wich 2.22 @ 2.31 driver, no matter wich 256 @
16.7 resolution . I've tried & interchanged them all by now.

The most reliable, hmm, better say the less unreliable, are the latest beta
2.31.
The 2.31 only block at high processing activities, and not on high file
transfers too, as the 2.22 @ 2.30 do.

Maybe the SDD drivers will bring a solution. If not, definitely the Matrox
will be kicked out here.


    Groeten uit Gent,
