! Your Matrox graphics card is 100% VGA compatible and supports all VESA standards:
VBE 2.0 (Super VGA modes), DPMS (energy saving), and DDC-2B (Plug-and-Play
monitor).
! The display resolutions available depend on your Matrox graphics card, display driver,
and software monitor settings. Different software monitor settings have different
resolutions available to them. With your software monitor settings, some of the
resolutions listed in this section may not be available, or resolutions not listed in this

! The maximum refresh rates listed in this section have been rounded and are based on a
monitor with a maximum horizontal refresh rate of 130 kHz. Depending on your
monitor, refresh rate capabilities may vary. For information on the capabilities of your
monitor, see your monitor documentation.
! If you're using BNC connectors with a Plug-and-Play monitor, the Plug-and-Play feature
of your monitor can't be used. To use the Plug-and-Play feature of your monitor, instead
of the BNC connectors, use the 15-pin connector at the back of your monitor.

sure correct software monitor settings are selected for each monitor.
