Matrox Mystique 220




  Hi,


   If any of you has run into problems with the new Matrox Mystique 220Mhz
card (4MB), the I'd like to know how you overcame them. I am speaking of
the following issues:


1st of all, the machine is a MMX200 Pentium based PC, Shuttle 565-TX(512kb
cache), 64MB EDO memory. The XFree running is XFree86 3.3.1, and the
server used is the XF86_SVGA server. 

Problems:

1). 24bit display at 1280x1024 is incorrect at times, for example,
netscape icons (on the netscape buttons) are showing up b/w, not color,
and same goes for the netscape logo(which you can press on to go to
home.netscape.com). 16bit displays them correctly.

2). Using 16bit, or 24bit, I can't go from X mode back to the vc's, it
corrupts the screen, and the only think I am left with is goin back to the
X vc. (vc = virtual console).

3). Using AccelX 3.1, it doesn't manage to initialize the screen
correctly, leaving it blank(black), and only killing the X server and
running the XFree86 one defreezes the display.

That is about it for now, info will be appreciated.
