		    S3 driver implementation notes.



   This is a driver for S3 chipsets. It supports 8/15/16/24/32bits color 
   modes, and has support for accelerated drawing (currently only for BitBlt 
   between vram).

   This code is not portable to any platforms other than DOS+DPMI, because 
   it uses BIOS calls to set the initial video mode.


   Accelerated functions
   ---------------------

   BitBlt - I'm sorry I didn't add more functions yet, but I haven't got a 
	    time and this function was very important for me. I hope it help 
	    you too. If I had a more time a I will send to Allegro new 
	    functions.


   Supported Hardware
   ------------------

   I think all earlier S3 cards and some older. I'm sure for Trio64, I 
   tested it. If somebody have a problem, please send me note and your
   ident. number of S3 card.

	 Thank you, Michal Stencl
