KNOWN LIMITATIONS
- Video BIOS version can be determined from S3InfoPlus 
  display, if you are using a production video BIOS.
- S3Turbo support is not available for standard driver 
  packages. 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.
