Re: S3 968 documentation
Hi, i have a dead-tree edition of the 964 manual which I don't need anymore. If you still want one, i can send it to you. No need to cover shipping cost. rainer ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: S3 968 documentation
i have a dead-tree edition of the 964 manual which I don't need anymore. If you still want one, i can send it to you. No need to cover shipping cost. If nobody else applies, I'm interested. I have only the 968 part, which is a 964 add-on (and thus which is not very interesting by itself). However I do not have much time for coding so that if anybody else needs it, s/he will do a better use of it (than me).

Re: S3 968 documentation
S3 send me all their Virge-and-earlier docs, non-NDA'd, a long time ago. They are all in dead tree form, but I can scan them in if someone has a need. Jeff ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: S3 968 documentation
hi i have good news i have the 968 data book thear are 2 books the 964 book and the 968 you need both boot as the 968 book just has the new registers add to the 964 i will see if i can get a scaner and may be able to send you the book or something like that or i can give to info out of the books - Original Message - From: Justin T. Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 2:03 PM Subject: S3 968 documentation The XFree4 S3 driver doesn't work quite right on my #9 Motion 771. The bottom 5th of the screen is not addressed properly in some cases. If I start the X server with no background bitmap or windows, the old contents (from a rum with XF86_S3) of the frame buffer is displayed in that region. Windows seem to draw correctly there, but also draw into the top portion of the screen. This seems to only occur in modes that require more than 2MB of RAM. I've tried contacting the driver author and have even pinged this list in the past with no luck. My hope now is to find sufficient information on the S3 968 so that I can fix this myself. I've already spent some time reviewing both the 3.3.6 driver that works and the XFree4 driver that doesn't. Unfortunately, both tend to use magic numbers for almost all register modifications with little or no comments (What ever happend to writing self-documenting code with constants that *mean* something - ARGHHH!). This makes it difficult to get far without chip docs. 8-) Does anyone know where I might get docs for this chip?

It's just what I fight with on s3virge driver on PPC right now. in 1280x1024@16bpp, the image takes 2.5M. 2M of that is OK and the lower 20% contains garbage. The garbage changes when I move cursor or scroll an xterm. The driver detects 4M videoram on my computer. Haven't used this card in x86 so maybe it's not an endianness problem after all. I will test this card in PC some time next week and see. -- Meelis Roos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
