Keith,

I wish you the best of luck but my advice to you is cut your losses now and 
trash the Matrox Card.

I went through the same problems with them with their original MGA card.  
Their OS/2 drivers were, up until recently, pathetic. (As a matter of fact 
I think the driver I'm using now is still beta (2 years after the card was 
released)).  Their support is terrible.

That's the price you pay for staying with a OS that has
such a small user base (not saying anything about the OS
it self). The reason I do like Matrox is because of their
commitment to NT. They have a big stake in it because of
the CAD programs ported to NT. Otherwise I would be where
you are now (as I was with Diamond). It is probably going to 
get worse for you poor OS/2 er's with all the wire heads 
cranking out win95 drivers.

One thing that irks me is the lack of a resolution-switching utility 
like their Powerdesk for Windows. After using that puppy for a while, 
having to reboot when switching screen modes on the NT side is painful.

Matrox has stated they would not develop a Powerdesk equivalent for NT.
