| 6033.1 | Drivers on MATROX www pages. | STAR::KOHN | Rich Kohn @ 381-1507 | Fri May 23 1997 06:14 | 8 |
| Karen,
I've used the Matrox web pages to pull off the NT & Win95 drivers:
http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/drivers/ftp_mill.htm.

| There is an Alpha-optimized Matrox Millenium driver for NT V4.0 which
has multi-head support, but it was not developed at Matrox.
Mohan Vaghul's Commodity Graphics group out at DECWest developed it.
The web page is:
http://avalon.eng.pko.dec.com/commodity/kits.html
Use only V2.0

| 6033.4 | Nice multihead too, apparently | BBPBV1::WALLACE | john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093 | Sat May 24 1997 06:04 | 7 |
| The Digital/Alpha one does multihead with a lot less hassle than the
x86 one too (according to a demo I saw this week). Shame it's *still*
not available for wider distribution - customers are going elsewhere
instead...

| 6033.5 | multi-head now available (I think) | WRKSYS::HOUSE | Kenny House, Workstations Engineering | Sun May 25 1997 06:07 | 11 |
| re .4 - bemoaning the lack of official multi-head support on Matrox ...
Allen Hopkins sent out a note a couple of days ago stating that our
ALpha-optimized driver for Matrox could be distributed to customers.
This includes the multi-head support customers have been requesting.
The Workstation and Colorado web sites were alleged to have pointers to
the current driver. Sorry to be so cryptic, but I don't have the exact
URLs for these sites handy.

| 6033.6 | Driver pointer - internal only?? | OTOU01::MAIN | NSIS Consultant,Canada,621-5078 | Mon May 26 1997 07:41 | 20 |

Well, after a lot of searching, the only place I could find these
drivers is at the following internal site:
http://avalon.eng.pko.dec.com/commodity/kits.html
If someone has posted these drivers to an external WORKSTATION site,
then they have covered their tracks well .. Again, if they did, why
did they not post on external workstation site where the other Matrox
drivers are ?
Even better, ask Matrox to post on their site at:
http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/ftp_mill.htm

| 6033.7 | Has it really come out ? | BBPBV1::WALLACE | john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093 | Mon May 26 1997 12:13 | 7 |
| The obvious place to post these would be with the other NT graphics
drivers, somewhere under www.service.digital.com.
How does one get that to happen ?

| go to
http://www.imc.das.dec.com:9015/products/graphics.htm
and look towards the bottom of the screen where it says "Matrox
Optimized Driver for Alpha (includes Multihead) - Download millii.zip"
The complete URL is
http://www.imc.das.dec.com:9015/products/millii.zip
This is allegedly the version you can give to customers.

| 6033.9 | Let Matrox have code and post on their site.. | OTOU01::MAIN | NSIS Consultant,Canada,621-5078 | Wed May 28 1997 19:54 | 26 |

This absolutely, positively drives Customers absolutely crazy !!
ie. Having to depend on someone from Digital to "get" them the right
files... they want to do it themselves at a time they choose.
Is it so difficult to have it posted on one of our external web sites ?
Again, the best place to put this is to discuss with Matrox and let
them have the code so they can support it and post it on their site !
The Matrox site is the 1st place they will go when looking for drivers,
so why not make it easier for them?
[tired of hearing about what special efforts Cust's have to do to get
Alpha sw ..]
