Information for Cyrix Chipset Users
The XFree86 Project Inc.
7 March 2000
1. Supported hardware
This driver supports a single chipset `mediagx' that should work on the fol-
lowing Cyrix CPUs with integrated graphics:
o MediaGX
o MediaGXi
o MediaGXm
2. Features
o Rather sparse (color depth hardcoded to 8)
3. XF86Config Option
Option "sw_cursor"
disable the hardware cursor. (Code not verified yet!)
Option "no_accel"
completely disables acceleration. Usually not recommended.
4. Bugs and Limitations
o As a first cut at the new design, known problems are everywhere. The
console font is corrupted upon exit. The server seems stable if the
virtual desktop and resolution size match. I found 1024x768 usable and
that's why I released this version. Geeks can have fun with this but
NEWBIES should use the 3.3.3.1 release instead!
o On some older chipsets, the driver may trigger an illegal instruction
just after probing for the ``scratchpad size''. If this is the case,
email to <hecker@cat.dfrc.nasa.gov> with the output of
XFree86 -probeonly -verbose
and this will be fixed.
5. Authors
o Richard Hecker <hecker@cat.dfrc.nasa.gov>
