Hi! Here are results of my testing for version 1.8.6 of this driver with XFree86 4.2.0 running on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE.
I use S3 Trio3D video card and Samsung SyncMaster 510s monitor. Monitor works using HorizSync 30.0 - 61.85, VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0. Video card's maximum pixel frequency is 80Mhz. I should note that version 1.8.6 is much better than supplied with 4.2.0 release of XFree86. 1. Good news: many doublescan modelines work perfectly in 8bpp, 15bpp and 16bpp modes: # vert 120.00Hz, horiz 60.00kHz Modeline "288x240" 22.20 288 296 304 370 240 241 242 250 doublescan # vert 118.66Hz, horiz 60.99kHz Modeline "320x200" 25.86 320 336 384 424 200 204 205 257 doublescan # vert 120.00Hz, horiz 60.00kHz Modeline "320x240" 24.00 320 324 340 400 240 241 242 250 doublescan # vert 119.96Hz, horiz 60.22kHz Modeline "352x240" 27.34 352 360 378 454 240 241 242 251 doublescan # vert 103.77Hz, horiz 61.84hHz Modeline "384x288" 30.18 384 388 396 488 288 288 289 298 doublescan I use a number of non-doublescan modes also. There are here just for completeness: # vert 120.59Hz, horiz 54.63kHz Modeline "512x384" 35.18 512 528 544 644 384 432 433 453 # vert 119.98Hz, horiz 53.87kHz Modeline "576x432" 37.71 576 600 608 700 432 432 447 449 # vert 120.84Hz, horiz 50.51kHz Modeline "640x400" 49.50 640 716 780 980 400 401 402 418 +hsync +vsync # vert 119.98Hz, horiz 61.07 Modeline "640x480" 50.81 640 696 752 832 480 481 484 509 -hsync -vsync # vert 117.63Hz, horiz 61.64 Modeline "672x504" 55.97 672 716 748 908 504 505 506 524 # vert 115.83Hz, horiz 61.85kHz Modeline "688x516" 56.41 688 728 760 912 516 517 518 538 # vert 119.98Hz, horiz 50.39kHz Modeline "720x400" 43.74 720 752 768 868 400 401 402 420 -hsync -vsync # vert 95.34, horiz 59.30kHz Modeline "800x600" 59.78 800 804 868 1008 600 601 602 622 # vert 77.40Hz, horiz 60.99kHz Modeline "1024x768" 78.80 1024 1028 1124 1296 768 769 772 792 # vert 120.00Hz (interlaced), horiz 55.50kHz Modeline "1152x864" 79.92 1152 1154 1284 1440 864 865 866 925 -hsync -vsync interlace # vert 95.81Hz (interlaced), horiz 58.07kHz Modeline "1280x1024" 80.00 1280 1296 1512 1568 1024 1025 1037 1065 interlace DGA 2.0 works. 2. Not so good news: - a cursor is still half-size in doublescan modes unless Option "swcursor" "on" is used; - blue window titles sometimes magically became green in the 24bpp modes only and only in modes 512x384 and less; I use AfterStep window manager with nearly default settings. - switching between video modes and even between text/graphics modes take 5-8 second often, meantime screen flashes many times; this machine is dual-boot (FreeBSD/Win98SE) and Win98 does not exhibit this problem. I ran XFree86 3.3.5 for long time , it never had this problem too. Most annoying thing. Server log is available on request. 3. Bad news: - XVideo still not supported. - doublescan modes do not work in 24bpp modes: only upper half of screen is painted, the bottom half is black while hardware cursor runs accross full screen. - there is much of flicker in 24bpp modes 1152x864 and 1024x768 in the left side of screen when picture is changing; hardware mouse cursor clicks 15-20 pixels left of its image in these modes but this mouse problem disappears with software cursor. Again, big thanks to Kevin Brosius for doublescan modes! Eugene Grosbein P.S.
