HINTS AND 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.
