The Mondello only ever went to Rev B before the team moved onto the
Laguna-3D chipset. The Rev B chipset had a few bugs remaining to be
worked out.
One of the bits in the z-buffer doesn't work. This can be worked around,
but as a result, the z-buffer is only 15 bits deep.
The PCI bus transfers are VERY slow. I have been told that there are some
bus arbitration problems with the Rev B chipset. This, of course, slows
down the hardware rendering considerably. Presumably, this will be fixed in
the next revision. I know it is fixed in the current Laguna product.
Some of the include files are in ../include/mondello.
The driver may sometimes exit in a not-so-nice way. Typing reset;setfont
usually takes care of such problems.
