For each chipset, and all the cards we have tested, indicated are the available capabilities in a table using these notations: X => available and tested. Works well. X- => available (for card) and tested. Difficult settings, depending on the monitor. X* => available (for chipset) and tested. Works on some cards, doesn't work on others. x => available but not specifically tested (the specific card or chipset was not available). # => doesn't work now, but will probably work in the future. 0 => will never work (for technical reasons). The abilities tested are : 640_8 : 640x480, 8 bits (with 1 MB) 800_8 : 800x600, 8 bits (with 1 MB) 1024_8 : 1024x768, 8 bits (with 1 MB) 640_32 : 640x480, 32 bits (with 2 MB) 800_32 : 800x600, 32 bits (with 2 MB) Boot : Bootrom support (Be logo and boot device selector) Lines : Accelerated stuff for line drawing Polys : Accelerated stuff for flat polygon filling (horizontally convex only). This will not be used before DR8. Cursor : Hardware cursor. Accelerated blit and rectangle filling is always available. 1 - Cirrus chipsets. abilities 6 8 1 6 8 B L P C 4 0 0 4 0 o i o u 0 0 2 0 0 o n l r / / 4 / / t e y s 8 8 / 3 3 . s s o Chipset or cards . . 8 2 2 . . . r cirrus alpine 5430 X X X- 0 0 X 0 0 X cirrus alpine 5434 X X X X X X 0 0 X cirrus alpine 5436 x x x x x x 0 0 x cirrus alpine 5440 x x x 0 0 x 0 0 x TW-5 94 VO (5430) X X X- 0 0 X 0 0 X Diamond SpeedStar... ...Pro SE PCI (5430) X X X- 0 0 X 0 0 X STB Systems Nitro... ...PCI 1.5 (5434) X X X X X X 0 0 X J6NGD543XPCI (5434) X X X X X X 0 0 X Orchid Kelvin EZ-PCI... ...(5430) X X X- 0 0 X 0 0 X Orchid Kelvin 64 (5434) x x x x x x 0 0 x 2 - S3 Chipsets. abilities 6 8 1 6 8 B L P C 4 0 0 4 0 o i o u 0 0 2 0 0 o n l r / / 4 / / t e y s 8 8 / 3 3 . s s o Chipset or cards . . 8 2 2 . . . r Vision 864 X* X* X* X* X* X* X* 0 X Vision 868 # # # # # # # 0 # (3) Vision 964 X* X* X* X* X* X* X* 0 # Vision 968 # # # # # # # 0 # (3) Trio 32 # # # # # X # 0 # (2) Trio 64 X* X* X* X* X* X X* # X* (2) #9GXE64 (864) X X X X X X X 0 X #9GXE64 Pro (964) X X X X X X X 0 # Diamond Stealth SE... ...PCI (Trio32) # # # # # X # 0 # (1) #9GXE64 TrioPCI (Trio64) # # # # # X # # # (1) Diamond Stealth 64... ...DRAM T PCI (Trio64) X X X x x X X # X Expert Color Trio64 PCI X X X X X X X # X (1) These two cards will get full support soon. A new S3 add-on will be available on the web site. (2) Full support for these chips will probably be done at the same time. For that, we will probably need both new add-on and new bootrom (available on the web site). (3) These cards can probably be supported if necessary.
