This one may not have been reported until now.)) If you're running XFree86 3.3.x, you should probably consider using the SVAG server instead of the W32 server: <URL:file:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.tseng> The SVGA driver for ET4000 chipsets supports all color depths (8, 15, 16, 24 and 24 bpp) on most ET4000 chips starting with the ET4000W32i. The ET4000W32 only supports 8bpp. Depending on the RAMDAC and the support code in the SVGA server, some cards may only support a few of these color depths, or even only 8bpp. <URL:file:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.W32> XF86_W32 gets phased out, now that the SVGA server with XAA acceleration is at least as fast as the W32 server but supports more cards and for some even higher color depths. For details about using the XF86_SVGA with W32 cards, look below. Note that currently not all cards that are accelerated by XF86_W32 are accelerated by XF86_SVGA at this moment (only ET6000 and ET4000W32p to be exact). -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
