  • "Welcome, or do not enter"

    That's how i feel about powerdesk. (any version including 5.x)

    Hence i list here all options i can see inside the driver (remember, power users
    in common are familiar with disassemblers, and some of these users also familiar with low-level hardware programming - that's not me, but i'm close to those people...)

          Sorry people, i was not correct about location - the right one is

          HKLM\System\Classes\Display\0000\...

          (just set 32bit Z-buffer in powerdesk and
          search the registry for correct location (search for "32bitZ")

          And last, it seems that none of the switches
          i tried are working... maybe some hidden key
          like "UseAllMatrox" ?
