(*) Note, chips marked in this way have either limited support or the drivers for them are not actively maintained.

All of the above are supported in both 256 color, and some are supported in mono and 16 color modes, and some are supported an higher color depths.

Refer to the chipset-specific `README` files (currently for TGA, Matrox, Mach32, Mach64, NVidia, Oak, P9000, S3 (except ViRGE), S3 ViRGE, SiS, Video7, Western Digital, Tseng (W32), Tseng (all), AGX/XGA, ARK, ATI (SVGA server), Chips and Technologies, Cirrus, Trident) for more information about using those chipsets.

The monochrome server also supports generic VGA cards, using 64k of video memory in a single bank, the Hercules monochrome card, the Hyundai HGC1280, Sigma LaserView, Visa and Apollo monochrome cards.

The VGA16 server supports memory banking with the ET4000, Trident, ATI, NCR, OAK and Cirrus 6420 chipsets allowing virtual display sizes up to about 1600x1200 (with 1MB of video memory). For other chipsets the display size is limited to approximately 800x600.

Note: The Diamond SpeedStar 24 (and possibly some SpeedStar+) boards are NOT supported, even though they use the ET4000.

The Weitek 9100 and 9130 chipsets are not supported (these are used on the Diamond Viper Pro and Viper SE boards). The chips used on the FireGL boards are not currently supported. Most other Diamond boards will work with this release of XFree86. Diamond is actively supporting The XFree86 Project, Inc.
