What is the ATI VGA Wonder driver *not*?

# 2 What is the ATI VGA Wonder driver *not*?

Contents of this section

This driver does not yet support more than 8 bits of pixel depth. Even if your manual says that your graphics adapter supports modes using more than 256 colours, the ATI VGA Wonder driver will not use these modes.

The ATI VGA Wonder driver is not an accelerated driver. If your board is based on the Mach8, Mach32 or Mach64 video controllers, this driver will not use the accelerated functions of the hardware. It will only use the VGA Wonder hardware (which, for Mach32's and Mach64's, is integrated into the accelerator). This can make opaque moves, for example, quite jerky.
