Do the existing MXO2 Mini drivers work with CS%? at DVinfo.net

I see that PPro CS5 is now available for download. I've been using the MXO2-Mini with CS4. The Matrox press releases and web site say that CS5-specific drivers will be released in June. Has anybody tried to run CS5 with an existing MXO2 Mini set-up?

I've now had the chance to try the MXO2 mini with CS5 and couldn't get it to work. I uninstalled the MXO2 software and drivers, installed CS5, and then reinstalled the MXO2 mini drivers and software and updates. I'm running CS5 under Win 7 Pro with an ASUS P6t Deluxe v2 mobo, PNY nVida GTX card, & 12 gig RAM.

However, David Cherniak posted in another forum that he had it running on an ASUS laptop using the notebook adapter card.

Matrox Support informs me that the existing MXO2 Mini drivers will not work with Premiere once you install CS5 because CS5 replaces some CS4 links between hardware and Premiere. Their recommendation to me for a temporary solution was a dual boot ---- I've got dual boot capability which would allow me to reinstall CS4 on a separate drive under WinXP --- and then reinstall the drivers there. This will allow me to at least run color matching and correction under CS4 (going out to the external HDMI monitor calibrated with with the Matrox software) and then pass the project on to CS5 under Win7 for editing until the CS5 drivers are released next month.
