Bezel Management and FSX?

HondaCop · Post by **HondaCop** » 04 Apr 2009, 13:55

Hello guys,

I am successfully able to run FSX in full screen mode @ 5040x1050 but I just can't get FSX to activate the bezel management. When on the desktop, I can switch between bezel management on and off via the hotkey without a problem, but when I am in FSX, the hotkey just won't work.

Thanks for any help!

Try setting the desktop with the bezel mode, then run the game.

Ok, bezel mode is working on my FSX ONLY on windowed mode. If I swicth FSX to full screen, then bezel mode is deactivated. Anyone have had better luck with FSX?

Can anyone tell me how to enable bezzle management? I don't see anything in the matrox powerdesk software that does it? What am I missing?

You should find it in Matrox GXM Setup.
Click on the Matrox icon in the system try, then on Matrox GXM Setup. When it opens there should be a button for Bezel Management.

Just turn on Bezel Management before you launch the game. It works fine here, doing it like that. I haven't had any problems with it in any games, so far. But I haven't tried turning it on 'after' I launched a game. I always do it before.

It would be nice if these bezel management issues would get fixed; we've been dealing with them for a while.

Any updates on this? I could use bezel management with no issues on the old software but can't seem to activate or even find the utility on the new PD (version 2 05 00 20).

I'm have a GTX 275 running driver version 18250.

Me too. Also the save and restore setup feature seems busted in the new software/firmware (2.3.40t6.56) combination. I've emailed Matrox support.

Strange, I am using everything with the latest software (only installed all this yesterday) and it all works fine.

I thought bezel management was a gimmick, but I now consider it essential!

Thanks AussieTimmeh (and Matrox Support who responded promptly) ... It turns out I do have the bezel management and the "save/restore display setups" functions in the new software/firmware.

Matrox Powerdesk > Multi-Display Setup > GXM ...

My mistake was not clicking on the blue GXM button/bar. With this solved I now declare the firmware/software update awesome.

Azul, does this solve it for you?
