Yeh! I am interesting in release date too :D

Hi all,

Just a minor update to my previous post:

In addition to the 2.05 Powerdesk and 9.7 Catalyst driver, you will also need to flash your TripleHead2Go firmware to a new version that supports the 59Hz timing.

This will be available for download around the same time that 9.7 releases.

I will keep everyone posted.

Wow - that's awesome. :D

New shopping list:

Dell 2408.
TripleHead2Go.

No new info about release date for the 9.7 build?

probibly 1 month after the release of 9.6

There is a beta Catalyst 9.7 floating around the net now. I haven't gotten it as I am waiting for the Matrox firmware update to make good use of 9.7.
I do have a question though, Is it necessary to get the full Catalyst or is it enough to just get the 9.7 video driver to make the Matrox firmware work?

yeah its the firmware update + catalyst 9.7 that should make it work, im running catalyst 9.7 in xp64 however 5040x1050 doesnt seem to work, i am using problematic lcds, acer x193w+ but the main reason for the firmware update is the 59hz refresh update, enables use for all problem working lcds (hopefully)

I reworded my question. Hopefully it is easier to understand what I mean. Short version, Catalyst runs a few things in the background that I could do without so is it enough just to grab the 9.7 driver?

id stick with 9.6 catalyst altho all systems are different, u could try cat 9.7 beta but i doubt it would work (if it does for u, im taking the shotgun to my lcds and 4870x2)... its the firmware update for 59hz refresh that we're mainly waiting for, HURRY UP AND RELEASE THE FIRMWARE UPDATE MATROX!!! WE'RE ITCHING ATI FANS!

ATI has that same file listed under 9.6 cat. So is it 9.7 final? Or 9.6 udated? I'm confused :(
