Isn't the first time I see users with problems using Matrox boards. Lamentably I don't have access to any Matrox card so I can't even test a the code. If you have some knowledge about video modes and VESA stuff consider downloading TVision 1.0.4 and help me to debug the code over a Matrox. I found a problem with SVGA 132xNN video modes when using S3 boards thanks to a TVision user. It was a mode feature wrongly reported by the built-in VESA driver in most of the S3 boards.
