Known problems for driver release 2.7

- Screen switching with some speed test programs causes some weird screen
  artifacts. This does not occur when you switch screens under normal
  circumstances.
- The new scrolling acceleration seems to cause problems on some systems.
  If you experience similar problems and don't feel comfortable with that,
  go back to an older driver version.
- OS3 Doublebuffer style support does not work properly for small resolutions
  yet. There is still some flickering when using it with e.g. a 320x200.
  Higher resolutions give better results.
- Quake experimental double/triple buffer routines don't work with CVisionPPC.
  This problem is being worked on.
- The 24bit packed pixel and the 32bit 24bit mode use different screen mode
  identifiers. This is due to technical reasons and won't change in the
  future. So if you change the PACKED24 tooltype in the driver, you have to
  change the screenmodes that use a 24bit mode, too.
- The card does not support video streams like CVision3D or PicassoIV (using
  P96's cgxvideo.library emulation) does. This feature is simply not supported
  in hardware. There will probably be some kind of emulation in the future
  using the 3D interface but this is not yet done.
- The card/driver does not support dragabble screens. There is a note in the
  CVPPC manual but some people seem to have overlooked it ......
- The mouse crsr jumps if you move the mouse to the leftmost or topmost
  row/line. This will be fixed in a future release.
- Unlike otherwise noticed, the hardware does not have any internal hardware
  mpg acceleration.
