Build 5472, Matrox G400

At first installation, Matrox G400 detected and installed as Standard VGA.
So this state, limited resoultion, limited acceleration. Of course, this is
normal.

To use properly, I updated G400 driver. (Use Windows update site / Matrox's
Original driver (using xp compatibility mode) )

But, after update, the problem occur.

G400 only works in 16 colors(4-bit) mode!! And resoultion is 640x480 and
800x600 only.

Display setting shows me many modes. But actually, changes are discarded
without any error message.

I installed PowerStrip and check, "Hardware Error" (Not exactly, but like
this message) displayed.

This problem never happened on Beta 2 and earlier builds.

I need help.

Anyone tried G400 graphics card on Build 5472? Is it ran normally?
 
I'm having the same issue with this build (5472) and Matrox G450 Dual head. I
can revert to using the generic VGA driver and get more colors etc but no
dual head options. -Ron
 
Thanks, Ron.

I reported this problem as a bug.
