XFree86 supports the following Western Digital SVGA chipsets: PVGA1,
WD90C00, WD90C10, WD90C11, WD90C30, WD90C31, WD90C33. Note that the
WD90C2x series of LCD-controller chipsets (common on laptops) is still not
supported. The WD90C24 is an exception to this. It appears to be
compatible with the WD90C30, and the server will treat it as one of
these. The WD90C24A is compatible with the WD90C31. To use it, add a
`Chipset "wd90c31"' to your XF86Config file.
There may be some problems on
some OSs when returning to text mode when using the WD90C24. The WD90C31
and WD90C33 are now supported as an accelerated chipset in the SVGA
server; the accelerated features are automatically activated when a
WD90C31 or WD90C33 is detected, or specified in the XF86Config file.
