Most of this should not be needed any more since the latest drivers are
supposed to include support for the 6091. I will verify that in a couple of
weeks.
Christopher A. Hudson (cahudson gate.net) was kind enough to send this to me. Quote:
Thought I'd pass along some stuff I found out which makes the 6091 very easy
to use with Win95 and NT in "mode 3".
The Matrox Millenium has very flexible Win95 and NT drivers. You can
directly set up all timing parameters yourself, which are then stored in a
parameter file - mga.mon. Here are mga.mon settings which work with the 6091
in "mode 3" from 800x600 to 1280x1024. For anyone to use them, they only
need to be appended to the end of the file.
A 2MB Millenium can now be found for $199 or a bit less. The modes up thru
1152x864 can be run at 16bit color depth, while 1280x1024 is limited to 8bit
(unless you get 4MB). I use 1152x864. At the 75Hz refresh rate, its rock
steady. The Millenium also uses the Ti 3026 220MHz RAMDAC, so the image is
really sharp. Worth getting a good cable if you don't already have one.
You can see that the mga.mon format is in "H pixels" and "V lines" - so you
can convert any working modeline with just a few subtractions. Or
alternately develop modelines from these.
Note that the 640x480 are NOT for the 6091 - I use them with a cheap VGA B&W
monitor for text, CMOS changes, etc.
