G200 PowerDesk > Scrollable display

Hi ... I have the Matrox Millenium G200 installed, it's an older card
from Matrox. When I was using it under Windows NT 4.0, I could choose
in the PowerDesk to double the size horizontally of the display (not
scaling), so you could scroll in your display, the size would then ,if
it was 800/600, be 1600/600,... I'm now using the G200 under Windows
2000 Pro and I can't find the setting anymore to double the screen ...
does anybody know if this is still available, or did they left this
option out ? ... which I hope not !!! because it was ideal when you
don't want to spend money on an extra monitor .... and it was quite
handy also ...

tnx,
eF.

I don't use our G200 in W2000 and I have never seen this setting. I use a
G400 and G450 in W2000 and this setting is available for the dual monitor
feature.

There is a significant change in Matrox drivers around the 5.20 version
(G400) where this was the method of using dual monitors, I believe 2 years
old. Perhaps there was a similar set of drivers for the G200, look in the
archives.

Matrox provides a Tweak utility for custom resolutions, you might want to
look that up on their site.

Hi .. tnx for the response ... I was actually referring to the virtual
desktop option the G200 card had, but couldn't remember the exact term
.... ... I also read that after a certain version of PowerDesk
(4.26) ... the virtual desktop option was remove ... but I never found
something if they (Matrox) were putting it back in ...

greets,
