James, I don't have the Matrox card but I experienced a simular problem with
my ATI Ultra Graphics Pro during a RAM upgrade. The fix was setting my video
memory above my physical RAM. There is a nice little utility with the Mach32
drivers that allowed me to define this, it was in the INSTALL program under
BOOT SETTING or something like that. If your Matrox Installation program has a
simular feature this might work.
Another solution would be to find your video memory allocation address and
exclude that area at boot-up. This can be done using the Excluded (X).
From the QEMM Manual -" Memory addresses explicitly made unavailable for High
RAM, expanded memory mapping or ROM mapping by QEMM386.SYS's EXCLUDE parameter.
If QEMM does not automatically detect an area specifically needed by an adapter
or a program, you must explicitly exclude the area. "
Hope this helps, I'm probably way out in Hyper Space but your client's symptoms
rang one of those queasy gongs.
Randy
