XF86_W32 is basically XF86_SVGA with the drawing code
completely replaced with one based on X11R6's mi/cfb code and
modified for the ET4000/W32 series. Even
though it accepts the same keywords as XF86_SVGA,
those not applicable to the ET4000/W32 series are silently ignored;
e.g., the keyword "SpeedUp" is a no-op.
The server currently supports the w32, w32i, and w32p chips. For
a complete list, see the sign-on message printed by XF86_W32.
The server supports only 8bpp operation at present.
Just as with XF86_SVGA, you can specify a virtual world that has
a width that is a multiple of four.
The size of the virtual world is constrained by the
amount of the available video RAM. XF86_W32 can use more
than 1 M of video RAM, but it reserves 1 K for internal use.
If you have 1 M, XF86_W32 will
say you have 1023 K, and you get to specify the virtual world as 1152x900,
but not 1152x910.
The current maximum clock is set to 86 MHz, because this is what the Tseng databooks say.
If you have problems with the server. Try the following things:
