<h2>Features:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hardware cursor support;
<li>Autodetects assigned RAM amount preset in system BIOS;
<li>Partial support for modeswitching (sets resolution and colorspace but not yet refresh, supports virtualscreens).
<li>DPMS support;
<li>Basic AGP mode support on AGP cards, using the new (seperate) Haiku AGP busmanager;
<li>Partial support for modeswitching (sets resolution and colorspace but not yet refresh, supports virtualscreens);
<li>Partial BWindowScreen support (used for hardware pageflipping, scrolling/panning and acceleration in applications/games).
</ul>
<strong>Known limitations:</strong>
<ul>
<li>A lot. But hey, already beats VESA mode ;-)<br>
Although you still need to have VESA mode enabled for this driver to work(!).
<li>No 2D or 3D acceleration;
<li>No video overlay support;
<li>Only works on analog connected screens;
<li>No refreshrate programming yet;
<li>VESA 2.0 mode needs to be enabled alongside the driver or it won't work yet: VESA resolution must match Screenprefs panel setting (colordepth isn't important though).
</ul>
