I have an ELSA WINNER 2000PRO/X-2 display adapter, which uses an S3
968. ELSA does not supply a driver for Linux, but it works with the
generic VESA driver. I am getting really terrible performance and the
desktop looks fuzzy[1] at 1280x1024x8. I would like to reconfigure to
use frame buffer rather than BIOS. Does the memory for the frame
buffer come from my display adapter or from my system RAM? If the
former then I probably need to switch to 1152x864x16, but if the
latter then I'd like to try 1280x1024x16 or 1280x1024x32.
[1] It looks as though X is uses dithering to make up for the limited
color pallette.
