Known Errata
------------
Issue: The GeodeLX Display Driver v3.03.00 bianary build only loads in XP SP2.
Description: Display drivers built with the Server 2003 SP1 DDK, build
3790.1830 will not load on XP RTM and XP SP1 installations.
Resolution: The 3.02.05 GeodeLX Display Driver bianaries must be rebuilt
using an previous revision of the DDK in order to support XP prior to SP2.
Issue: The GeodeLX Display Driver v3.03.00 will not operate correctly on XP RTM.
Description: The rotation code display driver uses a flag
DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION in the structure DEVMODEW to indicate the current
orientation to the OS. This flag was added in XP SP1. If the driver is built
and installed on the XP RTM bits, a warning message will appear each time the
display settings dialog is accessed.
Resolution: This issue could be fixed by detecting the service pack level of
the OS and only using the DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION flag in XP SP1 or newer.
This issue is not planned to be fixed.

Display Applet now forces an update to the display properties window!
Paradigm shift for heap management during a modeset. There is no reason to
lock off the heap until Windows has deleted all surfaces from the previous
mode. The driver now realigns the heap during a modeset, but does not
invalidate entries or lock off new entries. This also allows compression to
be enabled immediately and the screen to be immediately blanked.
