Hi,
I have a G450 Dualhead and a 19" Monitor. I added the 1280x960 Resolution with a Matrox utility, but now, I can only get 60Hz at this resolution. And when I go to Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced... -> Monitor Settings (with the 1280x960 reso) and want to select "Adjust the current display mode", it tells me "The selected display mode couldn't be tested."

Thanx for any help

The latest few versions of the G4xx drivers should have 1280x960 resolution already enabled -- no need to add it with a separate utility. And it should work at > 60hz refresh. At least, the Win2k drivers support this; it's quite likely the Win95/98/ME drivers do, too.

Currently running at 1280x960x85hz...

OK, I'm running now the 551 Drivers and running 1280x960x100Hz. Thanx for the hint. This card really rocks with my Sony E400 screen!
