Intel 82854 GMCH, 82830M GMCH manual Surface Support, 2 830 and 854 Base Features

2.1.2830 and 854 Base Features

The Intel® Digital Set Top Box Display Driver for the 830 and 854 includes support for:

•Region alpha blending using the DirectDraw method AlphaBlt — where a single alpha value is used for the entire rectangle.

•Per-pixel alpha blending using the DirectDraw method AlphaBlt — where a separate alpha value is used for each pixel.

•Plane based alpha blending, which uses the GMCH to blend the graphics plane with the overlay plane. See the AlphaBlendMode registry option in 4.1.1 Display Options for more information.

•Blend options, including bilinear and anisotropic.

•Direct 3D Mobile

•Hardware anti-aliased text

•Sample applications – installed in the Extras folder by the display driver MSI. Samples are CETK DLLs. An executable file called TestShell is also provided that can execute the CETK DLLs without using CETK.

•Hardware-accelerated bob for overlay surfaces with interleaved data using DirectDraw

(DDCAPS2_CANBOBINTERLEAVED and DDCAPS2_CANFLIPODDEVEN caps are set). Example usage is provided in the BobTest sample. Note: IDirectDrawSurface5::UpdateOverlay DDOVER_BOBHARDWARE flag is not supported since DirectDraw Video Port Extensions are not supported.
