I have a Dell PC with an "NVidia Riva Ultra 64 rev 21" in it. I want it to offer multiple visuals so I can run old apps that only support 8-bit PseudoColor and still let other apps that can handle more colors have them.
Everything I've found on Xfree86.org and elsewhere says it ain't possible - multiple visuals can't be supported without hardware overlay and only a few Matrox and newer NVIDIA cards have it. But I have another Dell PC containing an "NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64" that's running Windows 2k and Hummingbird Exceed, and xdpyinfo confirms that it supports 2 visuals - 8-bit pseudocolor and 24-bit TrueColor. So what's up? Do these chips support overlay and only Hummingbird Exceed knows it, or is it actually possible to do multiple visuals without overlay?
