No standby with RT.X10

Hi,

My PC refuses to go into standby. It complains that "The device driver for
the 'Matrox MiniVFX' device is preventing the machine from entering standby.
Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you
may need to update this driver."

Does anyone have any ideas how I might be able to enable standby on my PC
without having to uninstall the RT.X10 drivers? Here are my specs:

Windows XP Pro SP1
Adobe Premiere Pro
Matrox RT.X10 video editing card
Matrox P750 video card with 2 monitors attached
Matrox Xtools 5078
Pentium 4 2.8GHz with HT
2GB DDR SDRAM

I've tried disabling the MiniVFX driver but with no luck.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi again,

Damn Matrox. Apparently they "don't support power saving". Well done
Matrox. You sloppy engineering has increased the world's total power
consumption.

It seems it might be possible to setup a new hardware profile that excludes
the Matrox driver. Then chose on startup.

I'll give it a go and get back to you.

I've now got two hardware profiles. Both profiles are identical except one
has all the Matrox Video drivers disabled. I can now go into standby in
this hardware profile.

Does anyone have a more elegant solution?

Many thanks,
Jack
