1.2 	How to determine the driver's version number

	There are a few posibilities to get the version number for an
	ELSA NT graphics driver.

1.2.1 	Using the Control Panel

	Start the control panel (CONTROL.EXE) and select the icon
	"Display". There, click the button "Change Display Type". In the
	following dialog the version number is displayed in the box
	driver information.

	NOTE	The driver has to be installed to use this feature!

	NOTE	Due to a non-ELSA problem the version number is only
		displayed in an US-english installation if Windows NT.

1.2.2 	Using MonCtrl

	Choose the Icon "ELSA MonCtrl" in the control panel. Above the
	exit-buttons the  version number is displayed.

	NOTE	The driver has to be installed to use this feature!

1.2.3 	Using the Explorer

	Use the Explorer to watch the file properties for either
	one of the files WINNER.SYS, WINNER.DLL or WINNERMB.DLL. The
	files can be found in the directory System32\Drivers and
	System32 of your Windows NT.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2	Installation

	NOTE	This graphics driver will only work correct under
		Windows NT 4.0!

	If you install Windows NT with an ELSA graphic adapter
	plugged in, it's recommended to use the procedure described
	in paragraph 2.1. If not you may run into trouble!

	If you change your graphic adapter to a ELSA board use the
	procedure described in chapter 2.2. It is recommended to
	first install the driver, then shut down the computer and
	then change the cards! Alternatively you can change the
	graphic adapter and the boot in the save VGA-Mode to
	install the corresponding ELSA driver.

	If you want to update your display driver use the
	procedure described in chapter 2.2.

	NOTE    To install the ELSA drivers, we use the typical
		installation procedure as described in the Microsoft
		Windows NT manual.

2.1 	Installation during system installation

	NOTE	It is possible to install the display driver later as
		described in 2.2. We recommend to define a driver
		during the installation of NT to run into a defined
		state.

	During the first or a new customized installation of Windows NT
	you will be asked to accept the hard- and software components
	Windows NT has determined. In this text screen titled "Windows
	NT Workstation Setup" don't accept the highlight "The above
	list matches my computer". Use the arrow keys to move highlight
	to the item after "Display:" and press ENTER.

	NOTE	You cannot install from CD. You have to create
		installation disks first (see 2.2) or continue as
		described in 2.1.2 (recommended).

2.1.1	Installationdisks available

	To change the type of display to be installed select "Other
	(Requires disk provided by a hardware manufacturer)".

	You will be asked to insert a disk into drive A:.  Insert
	disk 1, and select one of the entries matching your system:
	- ELSA i386 for Intel-based machines,
	- ELSA Alpha for computers with DEC-Alpha-processor,
	- ELSA PPC for PowerPCs.

	Now accept the list, if it matches your computer.  Continue the
	installation following all instructions.  Later on you will be
	asked to change the diskettes.

	During the installation you have to restart your computer.  It
	is now bootet in graphics mode.  Later on the dialog "Display
	settings" enables you to change the default resolution. Read
	chapter 3.

	NOTE	It may be necessary to install the driver again when
		Windows NT is running to setup the ELSA OpenGL
		3D-extension (GLoria-boards) which not possible here!

2.1.2	No installation disks available, installation from CD-ROM

	It's not possible to install the display drivers from CD-ROM
	or harddisk at this time.  If you accept the hard- and software
	components Windows has detected it may result in an instable
	System.  So don't select the "VGA or compatible" entry.  You
	have to choose the item "Standard VGA (640x480, 16 colors)".
	Now you can confirm the List and continue the installation as
	preferred.
	The first time Windows NT comes up you will have a VGA
	resolution of 640x480 in 16 colors.  When NT is running
	you may change to the ELSA graphics driver as described in
	paragraph 2.2.

2.2 	Later installation

	Use the taskbar to select "Start" button/ "Settings" /
	"Control Panel" and there the icon "Display". You also can
	do a click on the desktop with the right mouse button
	to open a popup and select "Properties".  In the window 
	"Display Properties" you have to choose the the item "Settings". 
	Click on "Display Type..." and select "Change..." in the
	upcoming "Display Type" dialog.  A "Change Display" dialog 
	appears where you can see the already available device drivers.

	NOTE    The entry "ELSA"-"ELSA Winner 1000" in this listbox 
		will install the general purpose S3 driver designed by
		Microsoft and NOT the ELSA drivers!

	Choose "Have Disk..." to install the ELSA drivers. Windows NT 
	prompts you to enter a path where it can find the drivers. 
	Change the default "A:\" to the path where to find the
	driver files e.g. "D:\WINNER\2000PROX\WINNT40\" or to the 
	corresponding directory select the corrct dirver and confirm 
	with "OK". You want to install a third-party driver so click
	on "Yes". The driver will now be installed. Close all 
	display settings windows. 

	NOTE    With Windows NT 4.0 graphic drivers cannot be loaded
		dynamically. This is not an ELSA limitation.

	To activate the ELSA driver, the computer has to be restarted 
	so please press "Yes" in the corresponding dialog.
	When you've selected to restart, the system will reboot and 
	the initial installation is finished.

	NOTE    Windows NT 4.0 will now restart in a resolution of 
		640*480 pixel at 256 colors and 60Hz refresh. To change 
		this resolution use the "Display" application (refer 
	   	also the following chapter "4. Changing the resolution 
	 	after installation").

	NOTE	The OpenGL driver is automatically installed with the 
		Windows NT 4.0 driver.

2.3 	How to create installation diskettes

	If you don't have any installation disks, you can create these 
	using your CD-ROM or a downloaded file. There is not enough 
	space for all files on one disk so you have take three empty disks
	labeled "ELSA Windows NT 4.0 DISC 1", "ELSA Windows 
	NT 4.0 DISC 2" and "ELSA Windows NT 4.0 DISC 3".
	
	Now copy the following files from your CD-ROM to:
	- Disk 1 ("ELSA Windows NT 4.0 DISC 1"):
		DISK1
		ELSA.INF
		LIESMICH.TXT
		README.TXT
		TXTSETUP.OEM
		I386\WINNER.SYS
		I386\WINNER.DLL
		I386\WINNERMB.DLL
	- Disk 2 ("ELSA Windows NT 4.0 DISC 2"):
		DISK2
		ELSA.INF
		TXTSETUP.OEM
		I386\ELSAOGL.DLL
		I386\WONCTRL.CPL
		I386\MONCTDEU.DLL
		I386\WONCTENG.DLL
		I386\GLSET.DLL
		I386\GLSETRAY.EXE
		COMMON\GLSET.REG
		COMMON\GLSET.TEX
		COMMON\24H96.TIM
	- Disk 2 ("ELSA Windows NT 4.0 DISC 3"):
		DISK3
		I386\VIDEOCTR.EXE
		I386\DXCTRL.DLL
		COMMON\GLSETENG.HLP
		COMMON\GLSETDEU.HLP
		COMMON\ELSA.HLP
		COMMON\GLOBE.PPM
		COMMON\RAST1.PPM
		COMMON\CYLINDER.X
		COMMON\DXCTRL.REG
		COMMON\ELSA2.PPM
		COMMON\SPHERE3.X

	For Alpha- or PowerPC-Installation disks you have to replace
	the I386\-folder by the ALPHA\- or PPC\-folder with containing 
	files from your CD-ROM.

2.4	Installing from CD-ROM or harddisk

	When installing the driver from CD-ROM, a harddrive or from 
	a network-drive, all files described in 2.3 have to stay in 
	one single directory containing the machine-dependend 
	sub-folders.  When asked for a path during installation you
	have to insert the full path to where the file ELSA.INF is
	stored.

2.5	Problems after Installation

2.5.1	No mouse-cursor

	You haven't selected a ELSA-Driver.  The driver installed seems 
	to be a Microsoft S3-Treiber which is nearly compatible.
	Temporary you may select an animated mouse-cursor in the
	Control Panel until you have installed the ELSA-driver.

2.5.2	You have choosen "VGA or compatible" in 2.1.2

	If the installation of Windows NT isn't finished yet you may
	select the cancel button in the "Display-Setting"-Dialog that
	is shown after NT has rebooted to continue the installation
	in graphics mode.  NT will take the standard VGA driver now.

	If the installation is already finished and you have no or a
	damaged display, try to reboot "blindly" or wait several minutes
	before you reset the computer.  In the boot menu now select
	the save VGA mode.  Now install the correct ELSA driver!

2.5.3	The board is not recognized 

	Try another PCI slot. Some board manufacuters have implemented
	PCI slots that are not PCI compliant. 
	

------------------------------------------------------------------------

3	Changing the resolution after installation

	Start the "Display" dialog, it's "Display Settings" gives you
	the chance to adjust 4 parameters.
	
	- The "Color Palette" contents selections from "256 Colors" to
	  "True Color" depending on the "Desktop Area".
	- The "Desktop Area" depends on the "Refresh Frequency" and
	  the "Color Palette".
	- The "Refresh Frequency" allows you to select various refresh
	  rates.
	- The "Font Size" lets you select large or small fonts.

	NOTE	The "Font Size" selection appears only when you 
		have installed Windows NT with "american" language 
		settings.

	After selecting a new graphic mode you can check this mode for 5 
	seconds.  If the test screen is OK, then select "YES" and "OK"
	to take the settings.  Otherwise select "No" and make another 
	selection. 
	Windows NT 4.0 allows you to change the display settings 
	dynamicaly without any reboot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

4	Additional Configuration Options

4.1 	How to configure the driver

	In the following the settings of an ELSA graphics driver for
	Windows NT and the corresponding entries in the registry database
	will be explained.  Changes can be done with the ELSA utilies 
	MonCtrl, GLoria Settings or manually with the registry editor.

	NOTE	Unexperienced users should not make any changes in the
		registry directly!  Use the utilities! 

4.1.1 	Registry Editor

	Windows NT stores its configuration information in a database 
	that is organized in a tree type format.  Registry Editor 
	enables you to inspect and modify the Registry.  To run Registry 
	Editor, run REGEDT32.EXE (in the SYSTEM32 directory).  You can 
	also use the menu "Tools"/"Registry Editor" in the application
	"Windows NT Diagnostics" found in the "Administrative Tools"-
	program group.  To edit a value, simply double-click on it to 
	invoke an edit dialog.
	
	The entries for the ELSA WINNER graphics driver are placed in
	the window HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the path
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINNER\.

4.1.2 	MonCtrl utility

	Start the ELSA MonCtrl utility doubleclicking the "ELSA MonCtrl"
	icon found in the Control Panel. Changes in MonCtrl will affect
	the entries in the registry. 

4.1.3 	GLoria Settings

	The ELSA GLoria Settings property page allows you to cnfigure
	the 3D options on ELSA GLoria graphic adapters.

4.1.4	DirectX Settings

	On graphic adapters that support Direct Draw the ELSA DirectX 
	settings property page allows you to configure Direct Draw
	options.  Direct 3D is not supported with Windows NT until now.

4.1.5	Video Control

	The ELSA Video Control utility allows to configure the video
	output on graphic adapters with Trio64V2-DX oder Virge-DX.

4.2 	Multi Screen Options

	Some ELSA graphics adapters can be used in a multi screen mode.
	Two or more adapter cards and just as much monitors are driven
	from one computer.  This will result in an enlarged desktop.  A 
	list with graphics adapters that support multi screen is found
	in 4.2.3.

4.2.1 	Installing multi screen

	There is no special multi screen installation.  After you have 
	placed a second ELSA graphics adapter into your computer the
	Control Panel offers you new extended resolution in the 
	"Display" utility.

	NOTE	There is no special information that multi screen is
		enabled. You can only see this in the extended 
		resolutions.

4.2.2 	Configuration of the multi screen mode

	The entries "DesktopOnMaximize" and "ReverseScreenOrder" 
	in the registry database influence the multi screen operation.

	NOTE	Look for the frame "Multi Screen Options" in the 
		MonCtrl utility.

4.2.2.1 DesktopOnMaximize 

	This switch adjusts how dialogues and windows are displayed on
	the N screens. 

	NOTE	Look for "Maximize on all screens" in the MonCtrl 
		utility.

	0x0: 	When maximizing a window it be displayed only on the 
		left screen.  Dialogues will appear on the left screen.
		Advantage:  Dialogues and windows aren't split by
		screen borders.
		Disadvantage:  Dialogues always appear left, even if the
		application runs on the right screen.  Position
		settings of MDI-applications (e.g. Microstation) will
		be lost after a restart of the program.

	0x1: 	When maximizing a window it fills out all N screens.
		Advantage:  Position settings of MDI-applications 
		(e.g. Microstation) will be restored after a restart.
		Disadvantage: Dialogues and windows may be displayed on 
		screen borders.

4.2.2.2 ReverseScreenOrder

	This entry exchanges the order of the N screens.

	NOTE	"Reverse screen order" in the MonCtrl utility.

	0x0: 	The order of the adapters is 1, 2, ..., N

	0x1:	The order of the adapters is N, ..., 2, 1

4.2.3 	Supported graphic adapters
	
	Until now only combinations of equal ELSA graphics adapters
	from the following list are supported:

		GLORIA 4
		GLORIA 8
		GLORIA M
		GLORIA L
		WINNER 1000 AVI
		WINNER 2000 Pro/X

	NOTE	You can only use adapters with the same memory 
		equipment.

4.3 	Monitor Timings

	With timing files made for your monitor you may:
	- Install new resolutions for a better usage of the 
	  possibilities supported by your monitor.
	- Modify new timings for a given resolution.

	NOTE	Look at the frame "Monitor timings for:" in the MonCtrl 
		utility.

4.3.1 	Configuring the monitor timings

	The registry entries belonging to the monitor timings are 
	placed in the subfolder WINNER\DeviceX\.

4.3.1.1 Monitor.Select

	This entry selects how the timing file shall be used.

	Ignore:	All entries in the timing file will be ignored.

	Prefere: Resolutions listed in the timing file will be favored.
		If the driver supports the same resolution as listed in
		the timing file, the timings of the file will be
		prefered.  Driver resolutions without correspondence
		in the timing file are not affected and displayed.

	Exclusive: All standard resolutions of the driver are thrown 
		away.  Only the new timings of the timing file are 
		offered in the "Display"-Tool.

4.3.1.2 Monitor.Name

	In Monitor.Name a string to identify the timing entries is 
	stored.  This should be an identifier for ypur monitor, e.g.:

	ELSA GDM-17E40T

4.3.1.3 Monitor.Timings
	
	This entry containes binary data with the monitor timings taken 
	from the timing file.  These values are written by the MonCtrl
	utility.

4.3.2 	TIM file format

	A file with timing entries has the extension ".TIM".  It has to
	be placed in the SYSTEM32 folder of your Windows NT.  The files
	containes lines with ASCII text and can be modified with every
	editor (e.g. NOTEPAD.EXE). 
	The first line names the timing list (e.g. "ELSA GDM-17E40T"). 
	This is the string displayed in MonCtrl an stored in 
	Monitor.Name.  In each of the following lines one timing is 
	defined. Every line containes 14 comma separated values.

	The meaning of the values is (in correct order):
	- xRes: Number of pixels in X direction (e.g. 1024).
	- yRes: Number of lines in Y direction (e.g. 768).
	- Bpp: Number of bits for each pixel, for colors (e.g. 16).
	- Hz: Refresh frequency in Hertz (e.g. 79).
	- PxClk: Pixel clock in kHz (z.B. 95455).
	- Ht: Horizontal total in pixels (e.g. 1312).
	- Hfp: Horizontal frontporch in pixels (e.g. 16).
	- Hsw: Horizontal sync-width in pixels (e.g. 96).
	- Hbp: Horizontal backporch in pixels (e.g. 176).
	- Vt: Vertical total in lines (e.g. 800).
	- Vfp: Vertical frontporch in lines (e.g. 1).
	- Vsw: Vertical sync-width in lines (e.g. 3).
	- Vbp: Vertical backporch in lines (e.g. 28).
	- If: Interlaced flag (should allway be 0).

	With the given examples the file would look as follows:

	ELSA GDM-17E40T
	1024,768,16,79, 95455, 1312,16,96,176, 800,1,3,28, 0
	1024,768,32,...

	NOTE	On the ELSA drivers CD-ROM there is a DOS utility
		(WINSETUP.EXE) to find out the timings for your 
		monitor.

4.4  	Gloria/OpenGL settings

	The following descriptions are only meant for the ELSA 
	Gloria 4/8 graphic adapters.  They belong to the 3D extensions
	supported by the OpenGL graphics interface. 

	NOTE	For all entries there is a correspondence in the GLoria Settings 
		utility in the frame "GLoria Options"

4.4.1 	ICD extensions

	The following parameters of the Installable Client Driver (ICD) 
	affect the behaviour of the 3D functions on the Gloria.

4.4.1.1 ICDInterface.Disable

	This switch enables or disables the OpenGL support by the ICD
	driver.

	NOTE	"Disable 3D-Extensions" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0: 	OpenGL will be supported by the Gloria (default).

	0x1: 	Software-OpenGL (no GLint) or OpenGL using 3D-DDI

4.4.1.2 ICDInterface.ExportAlpha

	Allows the hardware to use the softwares alpha channel.  With
	Programs which don't use the alpha channel this may cause an
	performance loss up to 25 %.

	NOTE	"Use alpha channels" in GLoria Settings.
	 
	0x0:	The driver doesn't export an alpha channel (default).

	0x1:	The driver exports an alpha channel.

4.4.1.3 ICDInterface.NumberOfDisplayBuffers

	This switch enables and disables DoubleBuffering.  The entry
	stands for the number of buffers.

	NOTE	"OpenGL buffers" in GLoria Settings.

	0x1:	Only one display buffer is used; no DoubleBuffering.

	0x2:	DoubleBuffering enabled (default).

4.4.1.4 ICDInterface.SizeOfBuffer

	This is used to control the size in longs of the shared memory 
	block allocated to each individual rendering context.  This 
	buffer is used when DMA is disabled or the entire DMA buffer 
	is in use.  After the next restart this change will take 
	effect.

	NOTE	"Interface buffer size" in GLoria Settings.

	Valid values: 0x100 to 0x10000, the default is 0x10000 (64 kB).

4.4.1.5 ICDInterface.SupportSingleBufferedGDI

	This flag decides how GDI and OpenGL commands are handled in
	the same window in the front buffer.

	NOTE	"GDI in single buffered modes" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	GDI commands cannot be drawn in OpenGL windows.

	0x1:	OpenGL and GDI can simultaneously use the front buffer
		(default).

4.4.1.6 ICDInterface.SupportDoubleBufferedGDI

	Lets OpenGL export the ability to let OpenGL and GDI draw in the 
	back buffer.  

	NOTE	"GDI in double buffered modes" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	GDI commands cannot be drawn in OpenGL windows 
		(default).

	0x1:	OpenGL and GDI can simultaneously use the back buffer.
		(recommended for 3D Studio MAX)

	NOTE	It exports the flag but all GDI calls are drawn in the 
		front buffer!

4.4.1.7	ICDInterface.SupportOverlayPlanes

	This switch enables the driver to support overlay planes, 
	which are e.g. used by Softimage.

	NOTE	"Support Overlay Planes" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	No support for overlay planes (default).

	0x1: 	Overlay planes are supported.

4.4.2 	GLint-DMA settings

	The parameters of the GLintDMA group configure the DMA 
	capabilities of the GLint.
	
4.4.2.1 GLintDMA.NumberOfBuffers

	This is used to determine the number of individual DMA buffers 
	that can be in use at any one time. After the next restart this 
	change will take effect.

	NOTE	"DMA buffers" in GLoria Settings.

	Valid values: 0x0 to 0x4, the default is 0x4.

4.4.2.2 GLintDMA.NumberOfSubBuffers

	Used to control the ICD drivers subdivision of the DMA buffer.

	NOTE	"DMA subbuffers" in GLoria Settings.

	Valid values: 0x0 to 0x9, the default is 0x5.

4.4.2.3 GLintDMA.SizeOfBuffer

	This is the total size of the DMA buffer which is devided up 
	amongst the individual processes that use DMA. After the next 
	restart this change will take effect.

	NOTE	"DMA buffer size" in GLoria Settings.

	Valid values: 0x100 to 0x10000, the default is 0x8000 (32 kB).

4.4.2.4 GLintDMA.CachedBuffers

	This switch enables the driver to cache GLint data in the 
	processors cache.  Though the GLint reads all date from the 
	main memory, differences between memory and cache may appear. 
	After the next restart this change will take effect.

	NOTE	"Cached DMA" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	forces uncached DMA

	0x1:	forces cached DMA

	0x2:	let the driver decide whether it uses cached or non 
		cached DMA (default).

4.4.3 	OpenGL.UseFastClear

	This value affects the usage of fast clear planes.  When running 
	multi-threaded applications it may be necessary to disable the 
	useen of the fast clear planes. After the next restart this 
	change will take effect.

	NOTE	"Use Fast Clear Pages" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0: 	Fast clear planes disabled.

	0x1:	Fast clear planes enabled

	NOTE	For MicroStation this switch has to be set!

4.4.4 	OpenGL.UseHiQualityTexture

	This switch affects the precision and resolution for
	texture mapping.

	0x0:	Normal precision and resolution 
  
	0x1: 	High precision and resolution 

4.4.5 	OpenGL.SupportSoftimage

	This switch fixes corrupted menue and window borders in
	Softimage 3.01. Use this switch only when running
	Softimage 3.01!

	NOTE	"Support Softimage" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	Softimage fix not activated (default)
  
	0x1: 	Softimage fix is active.

4.4.6 	OpenGL.SupportSoftimage351

	This switch enables functions especially to support 
	Softimage 3.51. Use this switch only when running
	Softimage 3.51!

	NOTE	"Support Softimage 3.51" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	Softimage 3.51 fix not activated (default)
  
	0x1: 	Softimage 3.51 fix is active.

4.4.7	OpenGL.DisableMipMaps

	This switch allows the user to force rendering performance 
	when using textures by disabling the mipmaping. This overrules
	every applications OpenGL command for texture filtering. At 
	the same time you will lose accuracy.

	NOTE	Slider "Texture Quality" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	Mip-Maping is enabled

	0x1:	Mip-Maping is disabled

4.4.8	OpenGL.TextureCompression
	
	This value is used to reduce the texture size actually 
	downloaded to the texture memory on the graphics board 
	by simply shrinking the texture. This will enhance the
	rendering performance. At the same time you will lose
	accuracy.

	NOTE	Slider "Texture Quality" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	No texture compression

	0x1:	Texture compression by 1/4

	0x2:	Texture compression by 1/16

	0x3:	Texture compression by 1/64

4.5 	Other settings

4.5.1 	3DDDI.Disable

	This switch enables or disables the drivers support for 3D-DDI. 

	NOTE	"Disable 3D-DDI" in GLoria Settings.

	0x0:	3D-DDI is enabled

	0x1:	3D-DDI is disabled (default)

	NOTE	3D-DDI will not be supported in further versions though
		Microsoft will stop all developements on 3D-DDI.

4.6 	DCI

	The driver supports primary surfaces.  In Windows NT 4.0 this 
	support will be dropped.

4.7 	ELSA POWERlib
	
	ELSA offers optional for the programmer the toolkit POWERlib
	for creating your own applications using the ELSA graphics 
	board for graphical output. This tool is available for Windows
	NT.

5 	Known Problems

	- If the application under OpenGL requests "Double Buffering" 
	and the GLoria cannot realize it anymore (1024x768x32 bpp), 
	software emulation will be automatically installed. 
	To force hardware OpenGL you have to disable double buffering
	in your application!
	
	- The driver cannot run on a system where a COM4 port is 
	installed.

	- Changing the display resolution while an OpenGL app. is
	  running crashes the system
	
	- Booting the system last too long.

	- Don't use the standard S3 display driver. While setup detects
	  your computers hardware choose cancel to avoid the installation
	  of the S3 driver.

	- For 3D Studio MAX GDI in double buffered modes is recommended.

	- When running an OpenGL application and switching from DOS box
	  to DOS fullscreen and back, the system crashes. When changing
	  the graphic modes Windows NT restarts the graphics driver. 
	  Because of this reinitialization the driver loses all 
	  information about running OpenGL tasks. 

	- The system can crash when using DirectDraw Video Acceleration 
	  while changing display resolution or switching to fullscreen DOS 
	  or while logging off. The problem occurs on WINNER 3000 S/M/L, 
	  WINNER 2000 AVI/S3D, WINNER 1000 T2D, VICTORY 3D/3DX and TRIO V
	  cards with ELSA Vision, but not ActiveMovie. This problem will 
	  be fixed until next driver release.
