A note on setting up Matrox cards with OS/2. 

The 'latest OS/2 drivers, 2.3.106' on the Matrox web site for my new
G450 don't work.  They crashed my machine.

As it turned out, the drivers on the G450's CD are apparently more
recent and are the ONLY ones that will work for OS/2 Warp with this
card (2.5.117).

Furthermore, 2.5.117 won't work with my previous cards such as my
MGA200 machine (trashes system) but 2.3.106 will.

If this info was up on the matrox site, installation would have taken
an hour for both machines.
