1) |
If you are installing Windows 95 on a system with an Matrox product Windows
95 will detect the MGA and automatically install the correct drivers.
|
2) |
If you are adding the Matrox graphics accelerator to a system with Windows
95, when you restart the system the hardware detection capabilities of Win95
should detect that a new product has been installed. We recommend that you
allow Windows 95 to detect the hardware and install the drivers automatically.
|
3) |
When Windows 95 installs the drivers for your Matrox card and an MGA.INF
file exists (created previously by the Windows 3.1 Powerdesk or MGA DOS Setup
programs), the card's refresh rate will be those chosen for the MGA.INF file. To
use this file, the following variable must be set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
MGA=C:\MGA\SETUP (where the MAG.INF file should be located). If you do not
have an MGA.INF file available, Windows 95 will operate at 60 Hz since this
driver cannot use the Windows 95 monitor selection.

4) |
Windows 95 may not start correctly if the Matrox products for ISA(AT), VL
and MCA busses are configured incorrectly. If you were previously using your
card under Windows 3.1 and you did not change any other hardware in your
system, there should be no problems associated with the hardware. If you are
having difficulties in booting Windows 95 with the MGA drivers installed, then
you should consult your installation manual and verify the following:
a) |
The board's address does not conflict with any other system hardware. By
default, it is set to AC00 (hexadecimal notation).
|
b) |
The RAMBIOS.SYS file should be loaded. |
c) |
The memory manager should be excluding memory ranges used by the card.
