+<sect>DEC 21030
+<p>
+<itemize>
+<item>The DEC 21030 is supported by XFree86 in this release of XFree86 3.3.
+
+<item>Current Known Problems
+
+<enum>
+<item>Only one modeline is accepted, this will be the first viable one
+that matches other criteria.
+
+<item>Due to the above, Virtual Resolutions is not supported either.
+
+<item>VideoRam is currently limited to 2MB.
+
+<item>The 8plane 21030 is currently the only supported chipset. I don't
+have access to the 24plane or the 24plane3D chip.
+</enum>
+
+<item>The following options may be specified for the 21030 driver:
+<descrip>
+<tag>Option &dquot;dac_8_bit&dquot;</tag>
+ Turn on 8Bit BT485 RamDac.
+<tag>Option &dquot;dac_6_bit&dquot;</tag>
+ Turn on 6Bit BT485 RamDac.
+<tag>MemBase &dquot;0x???????&dquot;</tag>
+ If the server does not detect the base address of the 21030, then
+ Check /proc/pci for the 21030 and look for the "Prefetchable 32 bit
+ memory at 0x???????" and enter this as your MemBase setting.
+ In XFree86 v3.3.2, if you are using Linux > v2.0.27 with the PCI
+ routines the server should detect the base address automatically.
+
+</descrip>
+<item>No acceleration features of the 21030 have been taken advantage of yet!
+</itemize>
+
+<sect> Additional Notes <p>
+The code for the 21030 as yet - has only been tested on DEC's UDB box, better
+known as the Multia, in a Linux environment.
