Hi,
I think i've found a bug in the new 5.13 powerdesk.
It all started when i put a p3-450 in my PC, my G200
started to show random pixels under the cursor, and
then locked up after 2 minutes. Also my G200 got VERY
VERY HOT!!!!!!!
Well, after much hair pulling i think i figured it out.
I installed the 4.33 powerdesk and drivers, but still
had the same problem. But theres a util knocking about
that enables hidden options in powerdesk. So i tried
turning them on and off until i saw positive results.
This is what fixed the problem for me:
In registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Matrox\PowerDesk\Curre nt Settings]
"Use Write Combining"="1" <<<<< i changed this to '0' and
all is ok now!!!!!!
That is, under version 4.33 it works. Version 5.13 must enable
it by default.
BUT how do i turn this off in 5.13 ??
I tried putting EXACTLY the same registry entry after installing
5.13 powerdesk, but it has NO effect ???
Where does it keep this setting, and indeed, all the others ???
I'm gonna mail Matrox and let them know, this was a real pain,
and has taken me about 3 days of tinkering to find!
B.T.W I have no problems when changing bus speed to 66mhz ??
Hope someone can help!!!
Cheers
