PCI Video Controller

The onboard Cirrus Logic GD5446 PCI VisualMedia accelerator is a 64-bit DRAM-based SVGA
controller with hardware-accelerated BitBLT transfers of data, video playback, and video capture
to the frame buffer. The frame buffer is addressable through a 16-Mbyte window consisting of
three, 4-Mbyte byte-swapping apertures, and a special video aperture. The SVGA controller also
features a 64-bit GUI BitBLT engine with double-buffered, memory-mapped control registers.
The control registers are relocatable anywhere in the 64-Kbyte space; this allows multiple devices
in a single server.
The SVGA controller is fully compatible with these video standards: CGA, EGA, Hercules
graphics, MDA, and VGA. The server comes with 2 MB of onboard video DRAM allowing the
controller to support 132-column text modes and high resolution graphics with 1280 x 1024 x 16
colors. Depending on the environment, the controller displays up to 16.7 M colors in some video
resolutions.
The SVGA controller supports analog VGA monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced
and noninterlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace interlaced frequency of 87 Hz.
