Silicon Motion Windows Driver Release Notes
===========================================

03/11/99 (4.11.01.0011)

1.  Game Monster Truck passes invalid negative source x, y to StretchBLT 
    & StretchDIB which causes GPF.  We let DibEng handle them in these cases.
2.  Add LynxE TV virtual screen support.
3.  TV only, 8 bpp modes with virtual screen enable.  Move virtual screen 
    with hw video 2 enable, VPR00 bit [20] should not be off.
4.  TV only, 8 bpp modes, when hw video 2 is on, go to DOS full screen 
    and EXIT.  Screen corrupted because Video 1 is off.  It should be on.  
5.  Disable Polygon for Lynx3D.  Garbage shown on WinBench98 Task switching 
    2 right before TimeOut error message.
6.  Use hardware cursor in StretchMode If panel size = screen resolution.
7.  Add Engine status bit checking between circle operations.  NTEST.EXE 
    shows line segments missing.
8.  Use Force MipMap if physical video memory > 2.5 M.  It solves system 
    hangs problems running MotorRacer II & ReadLine.
9.  Do not wait for status or vsync if DirectDraw Flip or Blt does not 
    happens in the primary surface.  Some Japanese games use triple buffers 
    and do not expect status checking before BLTs.

03/15/99 (4.11.01.0012)

1.  Run game G-Police from Windows' My Computer, screen corrupted if you 
    do not have game CD ready and then exit.
2.  Undo v4.11.01.0012 #9.  It is not DDraw HAL problem.  Some of the old
    direct draw games do the flip or bitblt without checking the status.
3.  Remove HostBlt color to color Rop=0x66 (when Rops != SourceCopy) for 
    LynxE & LynxEM.  Japanese Windows with Plus installed, sometimes garbage
    shown on screen when screen saver is activated.

03/19/99 (4.11.01.0013)

1.  AGP information does not show up running Final Reality.
2.  Rotation mode is on and go to suspend/resume, Esc UpdateRotation is not
    called any more.  New Control Panel needed to fix this issue.
    180 degree rotation, need to program VP_GraphStartAddr for display
    since Bios mode set will clear this register to 0 from suspend/resume.
3.  Software cursor is covered by hardware video when dual monitor feature
    is enabled.  Work around by turn on color key and set color mask to 
    the same as the color key value in non-oclusion modes.  This makes
    software cursor visible.
4.  Virtual desktop is enabled with hardware video is playing, move cursor
    down to make hardware video y = 0 or 50 <= x <= 5f, garbage line shows
    on top of the screen.  Eliminate this by turn on color key and set
    color mask to 0ffffh.
5.  Turn off burst mode 3c4.17 [5] = 0 for Lynx3D.
6.  Remove 640x480 res support if PAL TV is 800x600 (sm710, sm810).

03/30/99 (4.11.01.0014)

1.  Default Lynx3D MCLK = 65. Check 3c4.83h bit [1:0] set in BIOS.
    00 - default, 01 - 60mclk, 10 - 55mclk, 11 - 50mclk.
2.  TV only, resume from monitor off, now display LCD/CRT simul.  SMI 
    Control Panel set it back to simul.  New Control Panel is needed for
    this fix.
3.  Do not allow 800x600x16 & 1024x768x16 D3D HAL in Lynx3D.  This is due
    to internal & external memory contention.  The driver will fail 
    Z-buffer surface create for these modes with returen NotEnoughMemory.
4.  Use as 2nd adapter, sometimes Win98 can not recognize it.  The memory
    & IO need to be sharable during initialization.  Margi reports this
    issue.
5.  OSR1 HyperTerminal GPF.
6.  Add 85 Hz support for 640x480 & 800x600 resolutions.


03/31/99 (4.11.01.0015)

1.  Video is chopped off at the bottom of the video window in TV only modes.
2.  A DWORD KEY \\LocalMachine\software\Silicon Motion Inc.\DriverCaps\Caps2D
    is added for various drawing operation options.  This is mainly for
    debugging prupose.

04/09/99 (4.11.01.0016)

1.  Detect whether hardware interrupt is present and do not use hardware
    interrupt during weave and bob mode switchings if it is not available.
    Some machines will just reboot the system if hardware IRQ is not hooked.
2.  Remove 16 bpp modes gamma correction support.  Only support 24 bpp modes.
    Turn on gamma only when ddraw applications try to use it and turn it off
    exiting the ddraw.  LynxEM-AC/Lynx3D hardware cursor is shifted left
    by 2 pixel when gamma correction is enabled.
3.  DirectDraw flip.c is changed for double buffer video display.  The patch
    for Xing MPEG1 decoder is removed.  Normally, applications call
    updateoverlay to update position and flip to change video source address.
    However, Xing software call both functions at the same time.  This 
    causes DVD playback slower when double buffer is used compared with
    single buffer.
4.  VxD Clears first 256kB of video memory when the display driver is 
    disabling. This eliminate screen temporary corruption for some
    applications asking Windows Restart after installation.
5.  InterVideo DVD will create surface even when CanCreateSurface() fails.
    In stretch modes and play mpeg1 video, it will still use hw video if
    InterVideo DVD software has been installed in the system.
6,  Improve DirectDraw Flip Double Buffer quality.
7.  Temporary improve LynxEM4 with 4M memory devicebitmap size for 7% gain.

04/13/99 (4.11.01.0016)

1.  Speed III texture dropping issue.
2.  3D flip causes TV screen flashing.  VPR44 should be set to VPR0C+VPR10.

04/23/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  Put burst mode back on for Lynx3D.
2.  Add 720x480 TV only support for Lynx3D/3DM.  Bios version 2.20.67 or
    later.
3.  Wait until Engine idle instead of return to apps immediately in DDraw.
    Otherwise Game Recoil has a problem to clean Z buffer.
4.  InterVideo 1.2.40 using DirectShow command which causes DVD play 
    flipping status not correct in DDraw.

04/30/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  TV only and restart Windows, Disable1 should call int10 5f0C to
    disable virtual refresh and reset vpr00 to disable flicker reduction 
    if current mode is 8bpp.  At the same time, check if TV only mode,
    we need to use sw cursor always in VGA.asm.
2.  Fix Scarsd3d game with bad quality.  this game doesn't pass z-buffer 
    in context in contextcreate, it pass z-buffer in setrendertarget.
3.  After disable dual monitor, set 3c4.66 [5:4] = 00 to enable both
    CRT and LCR Ram.  If CRT ram is not enabled, monitor detection
    will not work.  This has been fixed in BIOS as well.
4.  Add LynxEM AD detection for Gamma on with hardware cursor issue.

05/04/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  Burst will be turned off when running 3D games besides 3D WinBench.
    However, burst will be turned on in 2D & DVD always.

05/07/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  Do not save/restore 3c4.71 in Vxd.  Bit [3] has been used for global
    stretch on/off scratch bit for NEC which can be disabled in DOS full 
    screen and this status needs to be maintained when back to Windows
    Desktop.
2.  MicroVision in Control.asm has been added to detect Lynx/LynxE/LynxEM
    and not support DVD play if TV is on.  Lynx3D/3DM hardware will have 
    MicroVision TV support.
3.  Virtual Screen in TV only mode, go to DOS full screen and back to 
    Windows desktop, ScreenOrgX & ScreenOrgY have been clear and caused
    virtual screen coordinates are not accurate.
4.  Use sw video play when 1024x768x16 as primary display and 2nd monitor
    is enabled.
5.  Dual monitor is on with software cursor by using desktop themes.
    Restart Windows back to dual monitor again and disable 2nd monitor,
    cursor becomes hardware and show black color.
6.  Fix version information for Verinfo.exe test.
7.  Latest LynxEM uses graphics engine for 16/14 bpp stretch and video
    engine for 8 bpp.  When coming back from DOS full screen, video should
    not be turned on in 16/24 bpp modes.

05/12/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  After DirectMedia installed, even driver fails CanCreateSurface(), it
    still call CreateSurface().  We need to fail both places if the 
    driver does not support the current surface.  Play video on 1st display
    while dual monitor is enabled in 1024x768x16, sometimes it still uses
    hardware video play.
2.  Sm910 with ALI DVD decoder in mother board, VPR56 capture 
    request fifo can not be set to 0.  System hangs when open and close
    the DVD couples of time.  Driver set it to 7 for sm910.
3.  Make color key always on.  This will eliminate software cursor disappears
    underneath hardware video.
4.  For game Tomb Rader 3, to fix the vertical line segment bug, we have to 
    force Pespevtive_correction_OFF when w0=w1=w2.  We cannot do this for 
    general, since there will be garbages in foot notes in 3D WInMark and 
    3Dwinbench Quality 49 test (Texture Fidelity) will fail.

05/18/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  LynxEM, Japanese game Den_To_Go game causes GPF.
2.  LynxEM, if 3c4.83h bit [7] = 1, set by bios from calling int 15h,
    then disable Win98 DualMonitor feature.  This is requested by NEC.

05/20/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  LynxEM, if 3c4.83 bit [5] is set by system bios, stretch mode needs
    to be on even before control panel is loaded.
2.  LynxEM, using 1024x768 panel with stretch mode on in 800x600x24 mode
    and play video, severe underflow is occurred.  Use sw video play in
    this case.  This is done by Control Panel dated 05/20/99.

05/27/99 (4.11.01.0017)

1.  If MouseTrail in on, SetCursorType can NOT switch to hardware
    cursor even the cursor fmt is Black & White. (NEC)

4.  Do not allow 2nd monitor if DVD motion comp is playing in Lynx3DM.
5.  Turn off DVD video interpolation on CRT only 1024x768@75hz and above.
6.  No hw video allow in Lynx3DM Rev-AC when dual monitor mode is enabled:
    (1) 1024x768 panel, (2) 800x600 panel with 1st display is 800x600x16.


03/20/2k (4.11.01.0061)

1.  Don't remove MaxResolution string, but set it to 9999,9999 instead 
    to get rid of a stupid MS bug.
2.  Set handshake between with Control Panel to avoid CheckCursor to 
    come in for display switching cases.


03/21/2k (4.11.01.0062)

1.  Rewrote the power management for the monitor and added power management 
    code inside the PnP enumerator to skip the entire power sequence for 
    the secondary monitor.
2.  Patch for Aliens avp.exe: No highlight for menu list:
    Reset Blendmode from 01000900 to 0D000900,i.e. set Modulate2X for 
    texture alpha.
3.  Fix bug: system hang up in game Homeworld, etc.
    Cause: Even though we don't support AGP texture, BUT ddraw still allocate 
    texture memory in AGP memory. In slave mode, Push vertices and receive 
    texture data from AGP memory may conflict.


03/23/2k (4.11.01.0063)

1.  Fix hang problem for Tomb Raider4, HomeWorld, Star Waw, etc..
    Cause: Slave mode with AGP texture may cause dead loop.
    Solve: Wait engine idle before push vertices.
    Note: We may not need to wait after draw one triangle.
2.  Moved all process tetsing into overlay code. Only overlays need to 
    be patched anyway (for now!).  This causes WinBench 3D Quality test
    #61 to have application not responding issue.
3.  Worked around DVD test "Overlay Scaling" scaling issues. (MediaMatics)
4.  Fix underflow issue for HP.  If sm720AC with 1024x768 panel and 
    monitor2 is enabled, block all hw video due to MCLK=75 only.


03/28/2k (4.11.01.0064)

1.  #define DD3D_TEXTURE_565.  Need 565 format to fix game DieHard no 
    logo issue.
2.  Work around sm720 AC underflow issue. If it is 1k panel, block hw 
    video even M2=640x480x8 or 800x600x8.
3.  Fix DVD test kit issues for Lynx3DM.


03/29/2k (4.11.01.0064)

1.  Do not allow MotionComp for 1024x768@85 for 8/16/24 in CRT only 
    for Lynx3DM.
2.  Reserve 12M APG memory for Lynx3DM.  3DWinBench99 test 6 will not
    run if only reserve 8M AGP memory.


03/30/2k (4.11.01.0065)

1.  Patch for final fantasy viii no display.
2.  Only use MotionComp slave mode for Lynx3DM-RevBB at this time.
3.  Add 1280x1024 all color depth for Lynx3DM Rev-BB and above.
4.  Set default 3D mclock=93 mH for sm720 wRevId >= 0xb0.
5.  Support all 1280x1024 color depth if Lynx3DM > Rev-AC.
6.  Fixed bug in DCT nearest tests for sm720 RevBB.
    Cause: the patch for DCT Nearest tests fot sm820 is not good !
    Fix: 1. Take off PNT_SMP_RND_UP.
         2. take stShift value as fsnap.
7.  Fixed temporary horizontal white stipes during switching from window 
    DOS box to full screen DOS in dual display. Reported by QA and NEC.


04/03/2k (4.11.01.0066)

1.  For sm720 revBB or later, set wait sync for DMA as default.
2.  For sm720 revBB, double buffer flip need wait vsync,  triple buffer 
    does not need wait sync if DMA is enabled.
3.  If DDFLIP_NOVSYNC flag, do not wait vsync for DMA.
4.  Fixed Bug: In the game Toy Story2, DX7 sample FireWork, etc.
    Top_left screen corrupted.
    Cause: Drawing one more line out of drawing buffer, that overwrite
           in the following texture buffer
    Fix: add 1 to the height for 3D drawing surface.
5.  Set default 3D mclock=86 mH for sm720 wRevId >= 0xb0.


04/06/2k (4.11.01.0067)

1.  Patch for game NFK.exe. Bug: Menu text corrupted.
    Fix: Disable Texture AGP memory Caps.  Set D3DDEVCAPS_TEXTURENONLOCALVIDME 
    caps as default.  Disable it for game nfk.exe (NEC)
2.  Game Wotdemo, Patch the top line. (NEC)
3.  Fix miss data bug for game Half Life when DMA enabled.
    If no flip, driver need kick off DMA in EndScene().
4.  Fix bug: fail out by not enough memory when running 3dMark2000 Benchmark
    test in 640x480x16.
    Cause: Report error while cannot allocate memory for mipmap.
    Fix: 1. Instead of reporting error_outOfMemory,  ask ddraw to
            allocate memory for us.
         2. Recalculate VidMemSize.
    Note: pass for 640x480x16.but still fail for 800x600x16, even
              enlarge AGP memory to 16M or 32M ???
5.  Fix a problem reported from Quanta on the LynxEM and Lynx3DM.
    Under 16-bit color mode, when you go to the shutdown screen, the screen
    flicker severely.  However, under 8-bit and 24-bit, it is ok.
6.  Add monitor detecion on Lynx3DM only before enabling dual monitor mode.
    Put monitor detection in ValidateMode () to avoid 2nd monitor shows on
    display control panel page if CRT is not attached.
7.  Add monitor detection in ValidateModeEx() for Lynx3DM.  Patch Display
    Property bug.  If monitor detection fail, close Display Property too. 
    Fix Display Setting App confuse GPF.

    Steps to duplicate the problem:
        1. Connect monitor.
        2. Enter Control Panel Display Setting.
        3. Enable M2 and Apply.
        4. Disable M2 and Apply.
        5. Disconnect monitor.
        6. Enable M2 and Apply.

    This time the enable will be failed because of no monitor connected. 
    But Control Panel confused. If change M1 mode and Apply, it has GPF.


04/12/2k (4.11.01.0068)

1.  Dos full screen back to Dual monitor Windows desktop, blue screen is
    flashing on LCD side temporarily.  To access LCD Ram, virtual bit needs
    to be turned on.  However, it will cause screen severe flashing.  Only
    write CRT Dac when back to Windows from DOS full screen.  (VGA.ASM)
2.  Add argument    LPDDRAWI_DDRAWSURFACE_LCL pDestSurfx  in function 
    vReLoadTileTexMipmap() and vReLoadTileTex() for the purpose of 
    texture DMA. Driver need to know texture in AGP or local video memory.
3.  Remove 1280x1024 hw MotionComp support.  Play DVD in simul mode and 
    switch to CRT only, severe underflow.  No way to block it since
    surface will not be re-created.
4.  Remove 1280x1024x24 @75hz and @85hz support from INF file.
5.  Patch Game BioHazard.exe: There are Vertical & horizantal spans on screen
    Patch: Substract s,t by 0.5 even for nearest filtering.
    Set flag1 for testing HW enable Substract 0.5.
6.  Only do rotation if 3c4.18[0] = 1 in linear address mode.  S2D in 
    180 degree rotation, system locks up when resume.  Contorl panel keep
    polling UpdateRotation mode when 3c4.18 [0] = 0.
7.  Patch Game Indy3D.exe: Fog is too heavy.
    Patch: Disable fog at all.
8.  Enable DVD MotionComp DMA again.  Need to use bios with AGP1X setting.
    DVD DMA does not stable with AGP 2X setting.
9.  IME application data corrupte duing help menu scrolling. (NEC)
10. Change CRT detection scheme before enable dual monitor mode.  This time
    allow 2 display icons to be shown and the 2nd display will not be enabled
    if CRT is not attached.  This will eliminate the issue when dual monitor
    is set and then CRT is removed. These is no way to disable 2nd CRT if 
    there is no CRT is attached.


04/14/2k (4.11.01.0069)

1.  Turn off Bios stretch if rotation is on.  S2R/S2D will see the problem
    if Bios set stretch as default.  (NEC)
2.  Patch for Demo INDY3D, FIFA2000, DR_MAG_DEMO. (NEC)
3.  DSTN 4M boards should not have enough memory for 1280x1024x24 due to 
    memory reserved for frame acceleration.


04/25/2k (4.11.01.0070)

1.  Fixed bug for CULLED_FAN in tris.c.  Error can be seen in Game Thief.exe, 
    when drawing Fan and the first triangle has been culled.
2.  Fix .0069 version does not allow flag1.exe to enable/disable DMA 
    vertix/state.
3.  Fix NEC Game : Expert Pool (#58) : Green fill screen, Enable 565. 
4.  Fix TomRaider4, first triangle color on door not correct when fog turn 
    on if DMA enabled.
5.  Fix game Battle Zone white screen issue.  kick off DMA if dma enabled 
    and blt32() is called.
6.  Do not allow 2nd monitor if DVD is playing due to underflow.
7.  Fix Game pbr.exe (NEC)
        (a) if ColorKey enabled, we turn on alpha test by driver
            ONLY if alpha test and alpha blending are disabled.
        (b) To fix bug that ground are corrupted, we
            have to enlarge z buffer by 100 lines to prevent from
            following texture being written, since there is No HW clipping !!!
8.  Fix the problem of no Alpha test for NEC Game Ucdemo and DrDemo .
9.  Fixed GPF in High-End WinBench 99 on 1024 DSTN panels. (Source)
10. #if FLIP_VPR    //fix 3Dwinbench complain hw hold bus issue. use old 
    vpr flip method.
11. If 3DWinbench , do not work around alpha blending bug when DMA on.
12. Support 565 texture format in general and 
    update myGlobal.lpTextureFormats code in d3ddrv.c.
13. Some game has texture with size < 8x8, we cannot ignor them.
14. Enable DMA with limitations - (a) No Texture DMA due to status bit stuck
    fifo, (2) use software vsync checking instead of hardware auto flip
    bit since it will hold the bus too long reported in WinBench3D (~8% 
    performance hit), (c) need to kick off DMA for each State & Vertics
    instead of whole DMA buffer (~8% performance hit).  This is waived
    if WinBench 3D is running.
15. Disable DRAM refresh before MotionComp DMA and enable it after DMA
    if Lynx3DM-16M is used to patch system locks up.


04/26/2k (4.11.01.0071)

1.  Added kludge for Korean word processor corruption.
2.  Fixed the problem of "screen flashes" . The NEC game name are "tower", 
    "bzdemo" and "expendable"   Patch the screen flaashes problem, 
    Force waiting.
3.  1280x1024x24 @75 & @85 needs to be removed from driver (INIT.ASM)
    as well as INF.
4.  For Game pdr.exe, we have to disable 565 texture format.
5.  if AGP not enabled, turn off DMA. Fix some game hang issue if it is PCI.
    

04/28/2k (4.11.01.0072)

1.  Use slave mode to init Z if DMA on. Fix NEC game Urban Chaos Demo 
    and Teamalligator bugs  which init Z two times during a frame.
2.  Fix V-Sync off feature which broken in version .0071.
3.  try wait engine in kickoff DMA instead of wait in flip().
4.  Remove ESC function call for SetVPR00.  Hw video becomes blank 
    in 2nd CRT when dual monitor is enabled.
5.  Fixed NEC Game NFSdemo (Screen Flashes).
6.  Fix blinking cursor in Millennium monitor off.  VxD call bios physically
    to turn off the monitor.  This seems to be the Millennium bug.  When we
    ask OS to turn off the monitor and it never happens.
