In general the limitation on the capabilities of this +driver are determined by the chipset on which it is run. Where possi- +ble, this driver provides full acceleration and supports the following +depths: 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 and on the latest chipsets an 8+16 overlay +mode. All visual types are supported for depth 1, 4 and 8 and both +TrueColor and DirectColor visuals are supported where possible. Multi- +head configurations are supported on PCI or AGP buses. + +SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The chips driver supports video processors on most of the bus types +currently available. The chipsets supported fall into one of three +architectural classes. A basic architecture, the WinGine architecture +and the newer HiQV architecture. + +Basic Architecture + +The supported chipsets are ct65520, ct65525, ct65530, ct65535, ct65540, +ct65545, ct65546 and ct65548 + +Color depths 1, 4 and 8 are supported on all chipsets, while depths 15, +16 and 24 are supported only on the 65540, 65545, 65546 and 65548 +chipsets. The driver is accelerated when used with the 65545, 65546 or +65548 chipsets, however the DirectColor visual is not available. + +Wingine Architecture + +The supported chipsets are ct64200 and ct64300 + +Color depths 1, 4 and 8 are supported on both chipsets, while depths +15, 16 and 24 are supported only on the 64300 chipsets. The driver is +accelerated when used with the 64300 chipsets, however the DirectColor +visual is not available. + +HiQV Architecture + +The supported chipsets are ct65550, ct65554, ct65555, ct68554, ct69000 +and ct69030 + +Color depths 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 24 and 8+16 are supported on all +chipsets. The DirectColor visual is supported on all color depths +except the 8+16 overlay mode. Full acceleration is supplied for all +chipsets. EOF |
