I've yet to figure out what would be the best way to contact Matrox, so I decided instead to start a thread here for a features "wish list" for a theoretical next-generation GXM module.

1) Use the just released DisplayPort 1.2 spec to increase input bandwidth so we can use triple 1920x1080, 1920x1200 and the new 2048x1154 resolution displays.

2) Display rotation resolution options.

3) Add cylindrical correction options (see SoftTH capabilities) via additions to the PowerDesk-SE utility settings.

That's all I could think of atm. Even so those would be huge additions. Anyone else have ideas to add? Hopefully, these ideas can be relayed to the people at Matrox that can do something about implementing it in future products.

That´s what I would like the most!

But you would need one hell of a machine for doing it right!

120 Hz support!

120 Hz support!

Good point, then that 3D stereo thing might work. :D

I would love to see more panels supported, 6 seems like a good number :D

Allow user to create any resolution, official support included or not.

Including not-same-ratio mixes, like 2 4:3 + 1 16:9 etc.

Not only mix ratios and resolutions but have something like being able to mix standard def center and rotated screens for the sides.

All good feedback which i'll pass along! :cheers

screw matrox and their next gen GXM.

they better fix THIS GEN problems..

1) no 1920x1200 support in games under XP
2) somehow output 1680x1050 at 60hz so everyone's monitor can play in 5040x1050.

Better to give detatched constructive criticism than to be hostile about an issue. I find developers take people more seriously when there is no emotion envolved with stating just the facts. Are there current gen problems? Yes. Are they most likely aware of them? Almost certainly. I think they're looking to find resolutions to anything within thier realm of enfluence. Sometimes it is because of software or hardware outside thier control though, like nVidia/ATI driver behavior or DX10 limitations within the OS. Don't be surprised if a lot of these problems are the fault of ATI, Microsoft and nVidia, not Matrox. For example, I'm still angered at nVidia/Microsoft about the loss of span mode capability.
