The s3virge driver in X11R&relvers; supports the S3 ViRGE, ViRGE DX, GX, GX2, MX, MX+, and VX chipsets. It also supports Trio3D and Trio3D/2x chips. A majority of testing is done on ViRGE DX chips, making them the most stable to date. This release has added support for doublescan modes on DX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver is moderately stable, however please use caution with any new install. Please report any problems to bugzilla.freedesktop.org, using the xorg component.
