That makes the ATI work, but still only with 8 bpp, no 16 bpp. And then the Matrox card does not work..=20 If I set both cards to 8 bpp, the ATI works fine, but the Matrox give a very strange distorted image on the monitor. Any more ideas? Seems to me that both the cards needs to be "initalized" to work properly. And why can't I run the ATI card att 16 bpp? /Jakob On Tue, 14 Mar 2000, Coleman Kane wrote: > Your ATI card may not support completely memory-mapped I/O.
