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 ? Svein A. Nilsen Message: 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.
