The following table shows exactly what the Advanced Graphics Settings
Slider control does:
Slider Hardware Memory Accelerated
Control Cursor Mapped I/O Functions
-------------------------------------------------------
None No No Safe mode level 2
Basic No No Safe mode level 1
Most No Yes All
Full Yes Yes All
NOTES:
The hardware cursor adjusts the SWCursor switch in SYSTEM.INI [display]
section. It applies only to S3 and WD drivers.
The Memory Mapped I/O adjusts the MMIO switch in SYSTEM.INI [display]
section. It applies only to the S3 driver.
Accelerated Functions adjusts the SafeMode switch in WIN.INI [Windows]
section. It applies to all DIB engine minidrivers. Level 1 allows basic,
safe acceleration, such as srcCopy bitblt, patblt, and so on. Level 2
completely bypasses the driver for all operations (except cursor).
