The driver +is accelerated for supported hardware/depth combination. It supports +framebuffer depths of 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits. For 6420, 6422, AT24, +AT3D and AT25, all depths are fully accelerated except 24 bpp for which +only screen to screen copy and rectangle filling is accelerated. +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B apm +driver supports PCI and ISA video cards on the following Alliance +ProMotion chipsets +.TP 12 +.B ProMotion 6420 +.TP 12 +.B ProMotion 6422 +.TP 12 +.B AT24 +.TP 12 +.B AT3D +.TP 12 +.B AT25 +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details.
