- BASIC DRIVER FEATURES
-
- Basic MiniDriver Functionality
-
- The driver supports identical accelerated functionality in all pixel
- depths 8/16/24. For operations that can use Raster Ops the driver uses
- the Accelerator in all cases. HiColor (16Bpp) modes are 565. The driver
- uses Linear Addressing (not VFLATD bank switching) in all modes.
-
- This driver also utilizes Device Bitmaps to provide improved acceleration.
- If there is enough Offscreen Memory available, Color Bitmaps that normally
- would be allocated in Host/System Memory will be allocated in Screen Memory
- allowing the ET6000 to be used to operate directly on those bitmaps. There is
- accelerated support for the Color Bitmaps listed below when they reside in Video
- RAM. If there is not enough room for a particular bitmap then the DIB Engine
- is used to render those.
-
-
- The minidriver utilizes the ET6000 to accelerate the following:
-
- Legend: S - Screen, C - Color Bitmap - Host Memory, M - Mono Bitmap
-
-
- BitBlt, CtoS, All ROPS (this includes PatBlt)
- BitBlt, StoS, All ROPS (this includes PatBlt)
- BitBlt, MtoS, All ROPS
- PatBlt, C, Mono Pattern, All ROPS
- PatBlt, S, Mono Pattern, All ROPS
- Lines,C, Horizontal/Vertical/Diagonal
- Lines,S, Horizontal/Vertical/Diagonal
- Polygon, C & S
- Rectangle, C & S
- Scanlines, C & S
- Ellipses, C & S
- Circles, C & S
- Rounded Rects, C & S

- Hardware Cursor, all modes, when Cursor is mono
-
-

- DDC1 monitors are supported in the driver.
