Parhelia Driver - 1.02.00.031BETA

Are now available from Matrox's site.

These are beta's and mainly for 2D and tripple head fixes and such stuff.
But they also contain an important fix for Dynamic Lighting in Quake2 style games, including Half-Life and CounterStrike. Hopefully these games are now playable

I'm trying now... the new NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 Demo run fine, the new V8 (ex-TOCA) Pro Race Demo doesn't work, quit to desktop... so far, so good...

NWN seems faster.
I don't tend to benchmark much - things are either "very playable", "playable" or "un-playable"

Does anyone know if these new drivers unlock the anistropic filtering x8 on the Parhelia? It's not really a big problem and I know that Matrox locked it for the time being due to performance issues
