I totally agree about the Matrox support. It sucks. There is an (800)
number that might help you with you conflict with them. (800)362-0343
and ask for Brad. He is a sales rep, but seems to have some answers.
I started out with two Matrox Mystique cards. Had no luck using two
monitors so had to switch to the Millenium cards. Am now using two
monitors, but with some difficulty because of the interface between TS
and BMI. I am considering to get a Colorgraphics card for my second
location for testing between the two setups.
If you any further information that might help before I go to the
Colorgraphics card it would be greatly appreciated.
