It is enabled only for OEM-customized packages. -Rotation can be enabled using S3Rotate, but will not work with Windows SP1 TabletPC Edition, where S3Rotate is absent and only the TabletPC rotation controls are used. TabletPC support is not available in standard driver packages but is enabled only for OEM- customized packages. -Only one TV or HDTV device is supported at a time. -S3RefreshLock override for full screenrefresh rate has some limitations: -If a DirectX or OpenGL application enters full screen without a mode switch, then a mode switch will not occur on exit. In this case, the driver may be unable to restore the previous refresh rate to the desktop. -If you enable "hide modes this monitor cannot display" on the Display Properties Monitor page, then DirectX runtime will force the refresh rate to a safe lower value for a DirectX application. -The driver blocks refresh rate changes while an OpenGL application is running. If you go from running the OpenGL application in a full screen to running in a window, the desktop refresh rate can not be changed by using Display Properties while the application continues running. -If a display device is added or removed after boot time, you must open the Windows XP S3Display utility to trigger the driver to re-enumerate the connected displays. In this way, the operating system can be made aware of the new state of connected displays. The operating system will then update the Display Properties\Settings\Advanced\ Monitors page as needed to reflect the device addition/ removal. __________________________________________ Copyright 2005, S3 Graphics Co., Ltd.
