-The XOrg Foundation, (a.k.a. X.org) has changed to an Open Source model to
-maintain the official Public Implementation of X11.
-
-The XOrg Foundation invites anyone who has an interest to join in. Anyone
-may create and work on a branch in the repository. See XOrgRepository for
-more information about the XOrg Foundation repository.

-The repository consists of an imported XFree86 tree that is very close
-to their 4.4 release. Just before its 4.4 release, XFree86 adopted a
-new licensing scheme incompatible with the GPL. For this reason, we have
-recreated its tree as closely as possible without importing files affected
-by the new license. Our tree is being referred to as simply "XOrg", and a
-public release will be made shortly.
+chips is an Xorg driver for Chips and Technologies video processors.
+The majority of the Chips and Technologies chipsets are supported by
+this driver. 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.
