What I want to know is when AutoDesk/Vibrant is going to get some new drivers
out that fix the problem. If you take a look at the message below you will see
that it looks like Vibrant has everything they need to fix the problem.
So when is this going to happen ?

Over the past little while it's been a kind of grey area where matrox and
vibrant stood on the issue of incompatibilities between Matrox' hardware and
Vibrant's drivers. It has come to light that a motherboard that uses pci bus
type 1 may not function using vibrants drivers. Matrox And Vibrant are in
communication about the problem and Matrox has provided Vibrant with the
development tools and hardware to address this issue. I will post further
updates concerning this issue as soon as the information becomes available. It
is also noted that the impression plus functions with the current drivers but
there are problems when selecting 24 bit modes over 800×600. Again, Matrox has
provided Vibrant with the tools nessecary to address this issue. If you own an
Mga card where everything works but 3d studio, download mgaset.exe and run the
program. This will verify the pci bus type. If Pci=1 then your motherboard uses
pci bus type 1. This will tell you that you will require an update to the
Vibrant Inline drivers. I will send another post to this forum as soon as an
updated driver is available.
