Solution

Run the setup program included with the Matrox display driver. The setup program
automatically installs the display driver for each Matrox graphics card it supports.

Problem

In multi-display mode, displays aren’t numbered consecutively

1

Cause

If you have more than one graphics card in your computer, the
display numbering may not be consecutive for the displays of a
multiple-display card. Display numbering depends on the types
of expansion slots used in your computer (AGP and PCI) and the BIOS settings of your
computer.
