This file documents the video cards SVGATextMode has been known to work with, or not...


The list of available chipset-identification strings is: (for a really
up-to-date list, try "SVGATextMode -h")

      - "S3"
      - "CLGD542x"
      - "ET4000"
      - "TVGA8900"
      - "TVGA9000"
      - "PVGA1"
      - "WDC90C0X"
      - "WDC90C1X"
      - "WDC90C2X"
      - "WDC90C3X" 
      - "ATI"


The following cards seem to work fine. If your card is NOT listed here, but
it is listed in the chipset-strings, it probably means that it is UNTESTED!
If it works for you, please let me know (at kmg@barco.be), with a short
description of your card.


- VLB S3 86C805, 2MB DRAM, Avasem/Chrontel AV9194-07 clock chip
  Product name : "VGA-805-V"
  Max clock: 70 MHz without any artefacts,
             80 MHz with temporary garbage while scrolling,
             above that, weird "fading letters" on screen.
  reported by: kmg@barco.be
             
- VLB S3 86C964, 2MB VRAM, ICD2061 clock chip
  Product name : "Diamond Stealth 64"
  Max clock: tested up to 90 MHz, looks OK
  reported by: kmg@barco.be (Thanks to Kris.Coryn@p13.f1906.n291.z2.fidonet.org for providing the card)
  NOTE: needs external clock program for ICD2061 chip (should be included in "diamond" directory)

But the following cards DON'T work... yet! :

- ANY unsupported card NOT using one of the listed chipsets, of course.

- ATI VGA Wonder older than V4 (i.e. V3). I could do this if someone asks me to...

- PCI ET4000 W32p
  Vendor: "STB"
