-
- 1. Supported hardware
-
- This driver supports a single chipset `mediagx' that should work on the fol-
- lowing Cyrix CPUs with integrated graphics:
-
- o MediaGX
-
- o MediaGXi
-
- o MediaGXm
-
- 2. Features
-
- o Rather sparse (color depth hardcoded to 8)
-
- 3. XF86Config Option
-
- Option "sw_cursor"
- disable the hardware cursor. (Code not verified yet!)
-
- Option "no_accel"
- completely disables acceleration. Usually not recommended.
-
- 4. Bugs and Limitations
-
- o As a first cut at the new design, known problems are everywhere. The
- console font is corrupted upon exit. The server seems stable if the
- virtual desktop and resolution size match. I found 1024x768 usable and
- that's why I released this version. Geeks can have fun with this but
- NEWBIES should use the 3.3.3.1 release instead!
-
- o On some older chipsets, the driver may trigger an illegal instruction
- just after probing for the ``scratchpad size''. If this is the case,
- email to <hecker@cat.dfrc.nasa.gov> with the output of
-
- XFree86 -probeonly -verbose
-
- and this will be fixed.
