- The DEC 21030 is now supported by XFree86 in this first release of
XFree86 3.2. This server is still experimental but seems to work well.
- Current Known Problems
- Only one modeline is accepted, this will be the first viable one
that matches other criteria.
- Due to the above, Virtual Resolutions is not supported either.
- VideoRam is currently limited to 2MB.
- The 8plane 21030 is currently the only supported chipset. I don't
have access to the 24plane or the 24plane3D chip.
- The following options may be specified for the 21030 driver:
- Option "dac_8_bit"
Turn on 8Bit BT485 RamDac.
- Option "dac_6_bit"
Turn on 6Bit BT485 RamDac.
- MemBase "0x???????"
If the server does not detect the base address of the 21030, then
Check /proc/pci for the 21030 and look for the "Prefetchable 32 bit
memory at 0x???????" and enter this as your MemBase setting.
- No acceleration features of the 21030 have been taken advantage of yet!
