MXO only working in "presentation" mode

Just got back from NAB all excited about the MXO working with the 2.0 drivers for both FCP and PPRO and for some reason the MXO isn't going into "Mastering" mode anymore. When I open FCP, it doesn't do that "switchover to blue" it usually does before outputting video. I don't know if it was the new security patch I just installed that hosed it, or if downloading the new AE and PPRO CS3 betas hosed it, but it is gone. I then tried uninstalling the CS3 betas and the MXO drivers, and reinstalled the most recent MXO drivers from Matrox. Still no luck. Anyone else having problems with this?? Hopefully the 2.0 driver will fix all these issues.

Ended up tweaking and troubleshooting until the wee hours and fixed the problem. For some reason FCP decided to switch off the "all frames" output mode and I had to manually select the MXO settings in the video output selector under the "view" pulldown menu! I also had to "refresh audio/video devices" and the MXO finally came back to life. After trashing FCP prefs and doing a clean set up (then saving settings with FCP Rescue!) the MXO now seems to be behaving again!
BTW, the PPRO CS3 beta on the Mac Intel seems to be pretty much of a bust now anyway. It doesn't support anything but DV now, and can't even capture that through firewire on the MAC as of now.
