Matrox Millennium II for Mac – Installation Guide 5

Installation

1Insert your Millennium II card

Turn off your computer and all peripherals such as the monitor or printer. Open the computer

and remove the cover for the expansion slot you intend to use. Save the screw for the mounting

bracket. Position your Millennium II card over a PCI slot (your system manual should identify

the PCI slots in your computer). Push the card in firmly and evenly until it’s fully seated in the

slot. Replace the screw to secure the bracket of your Millennium II card to the computer chassis.

WARNING – Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Take these precautions:

Before touching any electronic parts, drain the static electricity from your body. You can do

this by touching the metal frame of your computer.

Don’t remove a card from the anti-static container it was shipped in until you’re ready to

install it. When you remove a card from your computer, place it back in its container.

When handling a card, hold it by its edges, and avoid touching its circuitry.

2Connect your monitor

Simply plug your monitor cable into the monitor connector on your Millennium II card. Make

sure the other end of the monitor cable is properly connected to your monitor. See your monitor

manual for more information.

3Install the software

Restart your computer, then insert the install disk in your disk drive. Double-click Matrox

Installer, then follow the on-screen instructions. Restart your computer for changes to take

effect.

The installation program creates*:

Matrox PowerDesk in your Control Panel folder;

Matrox 3D Acceleration and Matrox GDX Mistral in your Extensions folder;

Matrox Control Strip in your Control Strip Modules folder.

Your hardware and software are now installed. See the next section for information on how to change

your display settings.

* To uninstall the driver, simply remove these files from your system.

Apple monitors

The wider connector on your Millennium II card is not a

connector for an Apple monitor. To connect an Apple

monitor, use the adapter supplied with your Millennium II

card. Attach the wide end of the adapter to your Apple

monitor cable and attach the other end to the monitor

connector of your Millennium II card.

Display setup

After installing the software drivers, you can change your display resolution, color palette and other

Matrox PowerDesk settings. To access Matrox PowerDesk settings, open Control Panel ÆMatrox

PowerDesk.

Matrox Cards

This lists all the Matrox graphics cards in your computer.

Select a card in the list to change settings for it.

Resolutions

Click this box to select a display area from 640 × 480 to

1800 × 1440 and 1920 × 1200. Your display area – also

called display resolution – is your on-screen work area,

and is measured in pixels. (A pixel is the smallest element

that can be drawn on your display.) The first number in a

resolution is the width and the second number is the

height.

Colors

Click this boxto select the number of simultaneous colors

you want to be able to use in your current display. You can

select from 256 to 16.8 million colors.

Depending on available graphics memory and your current display area, millions of colors may not

be available. For more information, see “Display information”, page 9.

Refresh Rates

Click this box to select a vertical refresh rate for your current display. Your vertical refresh rate is

the number of times your graphics card refreshes the entire screen in one second, expressed in hertz

(cycles per second). A higher vertical refresh rate results in less noticeable flicker in your display.

You can have a different refresh rate for each resolution and color palette setting.

8 Matrox Millennium II for Mac – Installation Guide

For a table of refresh rates supported by your Millennium II card, see “Display information”, page 9.

Virtual Desktops

Click this box to select a desktop area that’s larger than your on-screen work space (display area).

While you’re using a virtual desktop and PanLOCK is off, move your mouse pointer to the edge of

your display to scroll in that direction.

Features

Acceleration – Lets you turn Matrox acceleration on or off. This may help you find out if a

specific problem is related to your Matrox card. If a problem persists after acceleration is turned

off, the problem is probably not related to your Matrox card.

PanLOCK – Use this feature to turn panning on or off when parts of your desktop area are

outside your view area (as with a virtual desktop or the PixelTOUCH zoom feature). When

panning is on, you can move your mouse cursor to the edge of your view area to pan in that

direction.

PixelTOUCH – Use this feature to zoom in on your display. You can select the ×1 (actual size),

×2 or ×4 zoom factors. (The ×4 zoom factor is unavailable at display area resolutions 832 × 624

and lower.)

Hot Keys

Use this feature to assign keyboard shortcuts for PanLOCK and PixelTOUCH, and for opening the

Matrox PowerDesk control panel.

Information

Click this box to see information related to your graphics card and how to contact Matrox customer

support.

Note: When you change your monitor settings, your screen may flicker for a few seconds while

the settings are being changed. If you select a refresh rate that your monitor doesn’t support, your

display may become garbled or unusable. If this happens, press [Enter] and your previous refresh

rate will be restored. If incorrect settings are applied, see “Troubleshooting”, page 11.

WARNING: If incorrect software monitor settings are used, some monitors can be permanently

damaged. For more information, see your monitor manual.
