  • G450LE troubles

    Hello from Barcelona, Spain (and sorry for my bad english)

    I have a Matrox G450LE (16 Mb) on a SOYO 5EH v1.3 motherboard with K6-2/500 CPU. This motherboard has an ETEQ chipset (a renamed VIA). I have two troubles with the graphics card:
    -on the startup sequence (Windows logo bitmap), the screen goes to black two times,
    but Windows (W98SE) starts well.
    -sometimes, my monitor switches off, but the computer it's not freezed. It's impossible to restore the image.

    I have all the PCI slots full, and the G450LE shares IRQ10 with an Avermedia TVPhone98 video capture card. The other option is to share with a SB128PCI (bad idea, I presume!).
    I have an IRQ's empty (9) but Windows refuses to use it with the Matrox card plugged. With my old S3Trio all will rules well.
    My IRQ list:
    - 0: Clock
    - 1: Keyboard
    - 2: Programmable interrupt controller
    - 3: COM2
    - 4: IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
    - 4: Sound Blaster Audio PCI
    - 5: DSL Card
    - 6: Diskette drive
    - 7: LPT1
    - 8: System CMOS/real time clock
    - 9: <empty>
    -10: Avermedia Video Section
    -10: Avermedia Audio Section
    -10: IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
    -10: Matrox G450LE Dualhead
    -11: SCSI (Zip Zoom) Adapter
    -12: IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
    -12: VIA PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
    -13: Numeric data processor
    -14: Primary VIA IDE Controller
    -15: Secondary VIA IDE Controller

    Any idea?. I have the latest VIA 4in1 patches (4.25a) and the latest Matrox drivers (6.23).

    TIA
