I am also using a Matrox Millennium /w 2MB WRAM (High color mode) and I
sometime encounter a strange behavior that when the screen load up after
it exits the screen saver (win95). The screen color changes to its
negative counterparts when the screen comes up again.

Also there is another problem. I see my screen flicks very often. Some
part of the screen becomes distorted (like a electrical surge) and then
everything turns back to normal. This ususally happens within half a
second. But I am suspecting that this is a problem with my monitor
rather than the video card. I am using the MAG DX15T (something like
that) monitor.

I would like to know if anyone encounter a similar problem.
