Yes – this is the problem. The gauges are drawn in graphics mode. I asked the
Yost Group to set up a slave so that background renderings just use 80×25 text
mode, which would allow rendering slaves to run at all times. No word yet, but
perhaps the new drivers are the answer.

I don't know if the MATROX has separate video chips. The only one I know of is
the IBM 8514, and the ATI 8514/Ultra. The 8514 design includes separate VGA
hardware, so the background session can use it, even if the foreground is
incompatible.
