Brian, In the middle of January you told me that support for the Matrox MGA would be ready in 30 to 60 days. I was just wondering how that is progressing. I have purchased a MGA PCI 2+ and have been exicited about the performance in Windows but disappointed to find that the card does not support VESA modes in the 1024×768 16 color NI mode. The tech rep from Matrox has advised me that the card will only recognize 512K memory in vga mode. Will the new 3ds drivers from Vibrant have these same limitations. If I cannot fully utilize 3ds with the board I might have to change. Thanks for your help Walter Hagedohm

Walter, The next release of the inline drivers will not have support for MGA. We have had a great deal of interest in MGA and it has our highest priority in engineering. The next release of the inline drivers will support MGA, but Autodesk has not scheduled that release yet. Thanks for your patience. Best Regards, Brian
