NOTES:
  • The hardware cursor adjusts the SWCursor switch in SYSTEM.INI [display] section. It applies only to S3 and WD drivers.
  • The Memory Mapped I/O adjusts the MMIO switch in SYSTEM.INI [display] section. It applies only to the S3 driver.
  • Accelerated Functions adjusts the SafeMode switch in WIN.INI [Windows] section. It applies to all DIB engine minidrivers. Level 1 allows basic, safe acceleration, such as srcCopy bitblt, patblt, and so on. Level 2 completely bypasses the driver for all operations (except cursor).
