This card works in W2K but not as it should. The Matrox only has
1 chipset wich makes W2K think there is only 1 card installed. This problem
(acording to matrox) will probably never be solved because it's just the
way W2K handles video cards.

It's not realy a problem, as long a you don't use 2 different siced
monitors.
What the card now does is spread 1 resolution over 2 monitors.
(mine is now 2048 * 768) If you use one 15 inch monitor and one 17 inch
that will work not realy nice.

Win98 does not have this problem and there you can set different
ressolutions
on different monitors.
