Vista, LV32P5-M cannot be used with non-Matrox cards. To use mulgiple cards, use
matrox cards with the same driver.
Which PCI slot should I insert this card to?
32 bit PCI and 64 bit PCI slots are useable. Also make sure that there is enough room
for the card inside the computer.
Does this card support OpenGL?
Yes, when set to 32 bit color (and 16 bit color). However, there are some restrictions.
Please check the performance on your system. OpenGL is not supported in any 8 bit mode.
Installation
Which display driver should I use?
Use the supplied driver or the designated customized driver for TOTOKU displays.
Proper operation of this card is not guaranteed when other display drivers are used.
The VGA boot screen (POST) does not appear.
Check the followings:
• The display is not turned on, or the signal cable is not connected properly.
• The display is not connected to the right card: There is output from the unplugged
on-board VGA or another card.
• Another card is conicting.

ENGLISH
- 13 -
Can I install the display driver by overwriting?
No. Make sure to uninstall an existing driver before updating it or when adding/
removing cards, or changing slots, and reinstall it.
The new graphics card doesn’t get recognized as new hardware.
Check the followings:
• The graphics card is not inserted all the way in the slot.
• An older version of the display driver may have been installed. Uninstall the existing
driver before installing the latest one.
• A non-NVIDIA card may be conicting. Remove it.
• Check Device Manager. If the Other devices section shows “[!] Video Controller
(VGA compatible),” the graphics card is detected. Install it from there.
The graphics card I installed doesn’t get recognized.
Conrm that the card is inserted all the way in the slot, and a proper graphics card
and/or a display driver is installed. If another graphics card coexists, remove it.
I can’t install the display driver when another graphics card coexists.
Remove another card once, insert this card, install and setup the display driver. Now
remove this card, insert another card in another slot, install and setup a display driver.
Put this card back into the slot where it was inserted. (In Windows XP only.)
The computer freezes at the Windows startup screen when restarting after the driver
is installed.
This happens when another graphics card coexists. Reinstall cards according to the
instructions above. (In Windows XP only.)
When I add another card after setting up this card, the computer freezes at the
Windows startup screen.
Remove this card once. Insert another card in another slot, install and set up a driver,
and put this card back into the slot where it was inserted.
The display blacks out during driver installation.
Wait for a while.
Any other measures for multi-display-related problems?
Try the followings as measures.
• Use the CMOS switch if the computer has one.
• Set the system BIOS from VGA boot to PCI primary.
• Share the same IRQ with all graphics cards.
• Install cards one by one.
• Check the card for the secondary display if it can be used for a secondary display.
• Update the computer motherboard BIOS.
• Use the latest chip set driver on the computer.
• Update the driver for another graphics card.
• Disable the on-board VGA in the system BIOS settings.
• Use a different slot.
• Remove PCI cards such as sound card.
• Change the driver version.

ENGLISH
Uninstallation
How can I uninstall the software for this graphics card?
Select Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs from the Start menu and delete the
following programs.
• Matrox Driver
• Matrox PowerDesk-SE
Driver setup
I can’t select the predetermined resolution.
Check the followings:
• Was the display connected when turning on the computer? Start up the computer
with the display being connected.
•
Isn't the old display driver still active? Remove the old driver and reinstall the new one.
I can’t uncheck "Hide modes that this display cannot display."
Log in as a user with administrative privileges.
Can I have Portrait and Landscape displays or two different resolutions at the same
time using the two DVI outputs on this card?
Yes.
I don't get the PowerDesk-SE icon or its menu doesn't appear.
Is Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed? Check to see if the display is connected to
this card on the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box.
One of two displays connected to this card doesn't work.
Conrm that it is not set to "Single Display Mode." Select Display
Properties>Settings(tab) and see if the display is connected to this card.
Miscellaneous
Grayscale images are not displayed properly.
Check the color setting. The following modes do not support 256 shades of gray: 8 bit
color, 16 bit color, and Programmable gray palette. Set it to one of the followings: 32
bit color, Fixed linear gray palette, or Fixed non-linear gray palette.
I tried to use a 32 bit color display and an 8 bit xed linear gray monochrome display
together, display color changes.
The following symptoms occur due to restrictions for the Windows XP/Vista system
color palette. It is not a failure.
• When the primary display is set to 32 bit color and the secondary is set to 8 bit xed
linear gray, the active title bar on the secondary display may appear dithered.
• When the primary display is set to 8 bit xed linear gray and the secondary display is
set to 32 bit color, the background color on the secondary display turns to gray.
In Windows XP/Vista, the gray shades behind the menu temporarily changes.
This can happen when you have a 32 bit color display (primary) along with a xed
linear gray monochrome display. Uncheck either "Use the following transition effect
for menus and tool tips: (Fade effect)" or "Show shadows under menus" in Display
Properties>Appearance>Effects.

Driver upgrade history:
Version Release Changes
2.6.2.4 Dec/09 Released
2.7.0.7 Jan/10 Fixed bugs
2.7.1.2 Mar/10 Fixed bugs
What are the restrictions on display settings when calibrating displays?
•In an environment where an 8 bit color display is primary and a monochrome display
is secondary, proper calibration cannot be performed on the monochrome display.
To calibrate it properly, set the color display to 32 bit color or have the monochrome
display as the primary display.
•Displays set to 8 bit color mode cannot be calibrated.
• The Windows gamma correction function should be disabled.
• Calibration software for ME203L/ME213L/ME251i/ME253i2/ME315L/ME315L plus/
ME351i/ME355i2 supports 32 bit color and xed gray palette.
• Calibration software for CCL250i/CCL252i2/CCL316/CCL350i/CCL352i2 supports
32 bit color. Do not calibrate displays in 8/16 bit color mode.
