I have an MGA 2+ with 4 Mb ram in a Micron Pentium/66. I use the following resolutions and refresh rates in Windoz on a ViewSonic 21: 1024 X 768 24bit 100Hz 1152 X 882 24bit 76Hz 1280 X 1024 24bit 90Hz The display looks as solid as a rock at these refresh rates. My problem is when I run 3DS3 the refresh seem to be below 72Hz (flickering). I am using the Inline Vibrant drivers, but I haven't found a way to specify the refresh rate at a specific resolution. It seem like the Vibrant drivers are ignoring the MGA.MON file the refresh rates are specified. I am running the Main display at 1280 X 1024 8bit and seems to be running at 60Hz-66Hz(flickering). I run the Material and Flic resolutions at 1024 X 768 24bit and they also flicker. The card is really fast, but what can I do to increase the refresh rates? I can always use the Matrox supplied display drivers, but this will rule out the purchase of Liquid Speed. Thanks SSH –Graphic Realities–

To be honest, we are using Matrox's initialization code for the Matrox support, so they should be handling this… I'll have our contact look into it. >…Liquid Speed… Actually, Liquid Speed does help some for ADI drivers, just not nearly as much as with the Vibrant driver…
