No wise words from me, but worth checking something: First be sure that the card is indeed a Millennium; I have not heard of the Millennium being supplied as original in the S900. When you run the ProgBios firmware updater, it should report the name of the card; the Millennium is reported as "Millennium", a Millennium II is "Mistral", and the Mystique is "Mystique". If it is indeed a Millennium (code name "Storm"), your firmware and driver might be a little old. Try the final release of the firmware 3.01 and driver 3.00: ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/mac/millennm/bios/bios301mil.hqx ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/mac/millennm/mac_os/milmac30.hqx The firmware is "StormROM.bin/v.3.01", that might give you more compatibility. The 3.00 driver also contains a more stable version of PowerDesk as well. Good luck! All the best, Sam. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
