[TriLUG] Matrox Dual Head Video problems w/RH8

[Michael Thompson]

I found a solution, not pretty but it works, in case anyone else ever runs
into this.  I disabled Anti Aliasing in the Control Center under 'Look &
Feel' -> 'Fonts' and everything works fine, with ugly fonts.  I found this
after a more extensive probe into the Matrox web site.

> I wonder if anyone has seen this before:

> I have installed Red Hat 8.0 on a Compaq Professional Workstation AP500
> with 2 CPU's, 1GB of ram, and a Matrox G400 dual head AGP video card.  I
> have downloaded and installed the Matrox drivers and PowerDesk software
> to configure the dual monitor feature.  The monitors both work with one
> exception:  The icon text labels on the Desktop, Panel Menu and in the
> Konqueror file manager keep disappearing from the left screen and
> re-appearing on the right screen every time the mouse moves over them.
> Has anyone ever seen this before, and if so, how can I fix this???  I
