S3 DXP RELEASE NOTES
====================

1. Using the Windows SETUP Program to Change Drivers
   =================================================
   If you use the Windows SETUP program to select or reselect the
   DXP driver (either in Windows or from the DOS command line), always 
   elect to use the CURRENT installed driver unless you have a new
   S3 Windows driver diskette. If you need to re-install the original
   driver included with the your board, run the WinSetup program on
   the diskette included with your S3 graphics accelerator.

2. Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai Editions of Microsoft Windows
   ==========================================================
   The DXP driver and Control Panel are fully compatible with these
   foreign language editions of Microsoft Windows. If you encounter any
   problems, please let us know. (See also notes 4 and 5 below.)
   Sorry, IBM's version of Japanese Windows is NOT supported; you are
   limited to the 800x600x16 color mode supported by IBM's SVGA driver.

3. True-Color Display Configurations: 24bpp and 32bpp
   ==================================================
   For 2MB and 4MB memory configurations, S3 defaults to 32bpp in true
   color configurations. The DXP control panel, however, offers you a 
   choice of either 24bpp or 32bpp display modes for added flexibility. 
   If you encounter a problem using 32bpp (e.g., corrupted icons or
   other resources), try switching to a 24bpp color depth; if this works,
   you should be able to safely reselect 32bpp using the DXP Control
   Panel. The 32bpp configuration offers roughly double the performance.

4. Japanese Windows Configurations - Special Notes
   ===============================================
   Due to the heavier resource requirements, S3 does NOT support the 
   following display modes under Japanese Windows:
      1024x768x16.7M colors        1280x1024x32k colors
      1280x1024x65k colors         1280x1024x16.7M colors
      1600x1200x32k colors         1600x1200x65k colors
   However, since problems in these display modes are largely application
   dependent, the DXP Control Panel gives you the option of selecting
   these display modes if your chipset and memory configuration support
   them.
   
   Note also that Japanese Windows is incompatible with the resolution of
   640x400 pixels offered by the DXP to provide true color with Trio64-based
   boards that have only 1MB of memory.
   
5. Thai Windows Configurations - Special Notes
   ===========================================
   S3 does NOT support the use of small (VGA) system fonts under Thai Windows.
   When the DXP Control Panel detects Thai Windows, it always uses the large
   (8514a) fonts. This restriction only applies to the system fonts which
   Windows uses for menus and other resources.
   
6. DCI Support
   ===========
   Full DCI support requires Video for Windows 1.1d or a later version. If
   you are using an earlier version of VfW, you may encounter problems.
