<P>Linux people have successfully used # 9 XGE Level 12, ELSA Winner 1000,
|
|
and S3-928 video cards. The XFree86(tm)-3.1.1 does support boards
|
|
with the tseng et4000/w32 in accelerated mode, as well as S3
|
|
Vision 864 and 964 chipsets including boards like the ELSA Winner
|
|
1000Pro and 2000Pro, Number Nine GXE64 and GXE64Pro, Miro Crystal
|
|
20SV). Support in the S3 Server for the Chrontel8391 clock chip has
|
|
been added.
|
|
<P>Trio32 and Trio64 S3 Boards like the SPEA V7 Mirage P64 PCI and MIRO
|
|
Crystal 40SV, are also supported, the Mach32 and Mach64 are supported
|
|
in accelerated mode, too.
|
|
<P>The SVGA Driver
|
|
<P>16bpp mode (65K colors instead of the usual 256) support for Mach32
|
|
boards as well as 32bpp for some S3 boards and the P9000 boards has
|
|
been added.

<LI> Diamond Stealth W32 (et4000/W32) -- Text mode works, X11 suffered from
|
|
"pixel dust", unbearable never got it to work and returned it.</LI>
|
|
<LI> # 9GXE L12 -- Works, virtual consoles corrupted when switched, fixed this with disabling the "fast dram mode" feature in his BIOS. Does not get a dot clock above 85, though.</LI>

<P>Genoa Phantom 8900PCI card seems to work well.
|
|
Genoa Phantom/W32 2MB does not work in an ASUS-Board.
|
|
Tseng 3000/W32i chipset seems to work well.
|
|
Spea-v7 mercury-lite works perfectly since XFree86(tm)-2.1.
|
|
<P>Spea V7 Mirage P64 PCI 2M with Trio64 works nice since
|
|
XFree86(tm)-3.1.1
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>ATI Graphics Ultra Pro for PCI with 2MB VRAM and an ATI68875C DAC run
|
|
well as dem@skyline.dayton.oh.us tells us: "It's humming
|
|
right along at 1280x1024 w/256 colors @74Hz non-interlaced. Looks
|
|
great."
|
|
<P>Paradise WD90C33 PCI did lock up on screensaver/X - this has been
|
|
solved in the newer versions of the kernel.

|
|
<P>miroChrystal 8S/PCI (1MB) S3 - no problem.
|
|
<P>Stephen Tweedie reported his Cirrus Logics 5434 PCI card works well.
|
|
It is a 64bit with 2M and runs perfectly with the SVGA driver in 8, 16 and
|
|
32 bit per pixel.
