I was just looking at the release notes for the new (2-26-2001) Windows 2000 drivers.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong, but are the drivers this bad that they have all these problems? Does this happen with other(Matrox and non-Matrox) graphics cards?
Main known issues
-----------------
- When running Java program used swing UI, you may see 'garbage' along mouse movement such as menu navigation
- DX Diag will report that AGP Texturing is disabled.
- Choppy playback of DVD titles on PAL TV
- All OpenGL apps crash when started in presence of Adobe Photoshop
- Corruption in Quake III when you Alt-Tab out of the game
- Age of Empires 2 won't run in clone
- Maximizing LightWave Modeler window across two screens causes crash
- Can't get refresh rated more than 85 Hz
- Unable to output the Real Media video to TV via DVD Max
- High CPU usage when DVDmax is enabled
- Memory leak in ICD when a window is destroyed before the OpenGL context is released
- Some applications such as VB6 and VC++6 will appear on all your multi desktops.
- You may see corruption running Directx apps with Flat Panels
- You may get a program error when you drag the Mplayer onto the 2nd head when in Virtual Head mode
- You may see a dialog box stating that it is currently trying to shut down IE. If this happens, you will have to click on End Now button to restart your system.
- When in True DualHead mode, OpenGL and Direct3D support will be in software mode only for this release.
- When in True DualHead mode, all original DualHead features (DualHead I) are not available for this release.
