XGI Tech driver support: http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/driver/xf86-video-xgi-1.5.0.tar.bz2
xgi is an Xorg driver for XGI (Xabre Graphics Inc) video chips. The driver is accelerated, and provides support for colordepths of 8, 16 and 24 bpp. XVideo, Render and other extensions are supported as well. The xgi driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the following chipsets: Volari V3XT/V5/V8 Volari Z7 XGI5597/5598 XGI530/620 XGI6326/AGP/DVD XGI300/305 XGI 340/342 XGI540 XGI630/730 XGI315/H/PRO XGI550/551/552 XGI650/651/M650/661FX/M661FX/M661MX/740/741 XGI330 (Xabre) XGI760 On the XGI301 and the Chrontel 7005, only resolutions up to 800x600 are supported. On all others, resolutions up to 1024x768 are supported. However, due to a hardware bug, Xvideo might be distorted on XGI video bridges if running NTSC or PAL-M at 1024x768. About XVideo support XVideo is supported on all chipsets of both families. However, there are some differences in hardware features which cause limitations. The 300 series as well as the XGI55x, M650, 651, 661FX, M661FX, and 741 support two video overlays. The XGI315/H/PRO, 650/740 and 330 support only one such overlay. On chips with two overlays, one overlay is used for CRT1, the other for CRT2. On the other chipsets, the option XvOnCRT2 can be used to select the desired output channel. About Merged Framebuffer support This mode is strongly recommended over Xinerama. Please see http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxxgivga.shtml for detailed information. About dual-head support Dual head mode has some limitations as regards color depth and resolution. Due to memory bandwidth limits, CRT1 might have a reduced maximum refresh rate if running on higher resolutions than 1280x1024. Colordepth 8 is not supported when running in dual head mode. Comments: This is being researched on Sun Solaris for full 2D/3D hardware acceleration concerns. ~ Ken Mays This message posted from opensolaris.org
