At this time, XFree86 3.1.1 supports the following accelerated chipsets:
(and true clones)
Mach8, Mach32, Mach64
CLGD5420, CLGD5422, CLGD5424, CLGD5426, CLGD5428, CLGD5429, CLGD5430, CLGD5434
86C911, 86C924, 86C801, 86C805, 86C805i, 86C928, 86C864, 86C964, 86C732, 86C764
WD90C31, WD90C33
P9000
AGX-014, AGX-015, AGX-016
ET4000/W32, ET4000/W32i, ET4000/W32p
The Cirrus, Western Digital and Oak accelerators are supported in the SVGA
server; the other chipsets each have their own server. A list of some
cards which the accelerated servers have been tested is included in the
files AccelCards, Devices, and some of the chipset-specific README files.
They may well work on other cards, but we cannot guarantee it.
In addition, the following SVGA chipsets are supported:
ET3000, ET4000AX, ET4000/W32
PVGA1
WD90C00, WD90C10, WD90C11, WD90C24, WD90C30, WD90C31,WD90C33
GVGA
TVGA8800CS, TVGA8900B, TVGA8900C, TVGA8900CL, TVGA9000, TVGA9000i, TVGA9100B, TVGA9200CX, TVGA9320, TVGA9400CX, TVGA9420
18800, 18800-1, 28800-2, 28800-4, 28800-5, 28800-6, 68800-3, 68800-6, 68800AX, 68800LX, 88800
77C22, 77C22E, 77C22E+
CLGD5420, CLGD5422, CLGD5424, CLGD5426, CLGD5428, CLGD5429, CLGD5430, CLGD5434, CLGD6205, CLGD6215, CLGD6225, CLGD6235, CLGD6410, CLGD6412, CLGD6420, CLGD6440
AVGA
OTI067, OTI077, OTI087
ALG2101, ALG2228, ALG2301, ALG2302, ALG2308, ALG2401
65520, 65530, 65540, 65545
MX68000, MX680010
HT216-32
All of the above are supported in both 256 color and monochrome modes, with the exception of the Advance Logic, MX, Chips & Technology and Video 7 chipsets, which are only supported in 256 color mode.
Refer to the chipset-specific README files (currently for Cirrus,
Tseng, Western Digital, ATI, Trident, Oak and Video 7) for more
information about using those chipsets.
The monochrome server also supports generic VGA cards, using 64k of video memory in a single bank, the Hercules monochrome card, the Hyundai HGC1280, Sigma LaserView, Visa and Apollo monochrome cards. On the Compaq AVGA, only 64k of video memory is supported for the monochrome server, and the GVGA has not been tested with more than 64k.
The VGA16 server supports memory banking with the ET4000, Trident, ATI, NCR, OAK and Cirrus 6420 chipsets allowing virtual display sizes up to about 1600x1200 (with 1MB of video memory). For other chipsets the display size is limited to approximately 800x600.
Note: The Diamond SpeedStar 24 (and possibly recent SpeedStar+) boards are NOT supported, even though they use the ET4000. The Stealth 32 which uses the ET4000/W32p is also not supported. Most other Diamond boards will work with this release of XFree86. Historically the information required for this support was only available under non-disclosure. As of September 27, 1994, Diamond has verbally agreed to provide The XFree86 Project, Inc. with detailed information about Diamond products. This should permit us to better support these in future versions of XFree86.
