5.3.2.2.4 SoftImage Customizations
When using the PowerStorm 300 AGP graphics controller on the Intel platform with Microsoft’s SoftImage, you should enable SoftImage Customizations using the Display Applet. In addition, you also need to enable
SI_OVERLAY = USE_ONE_BIT
When SoftImage Customizations are enabled, other OpenGL applications may not behave correctly. Therefore it is recommended that SoftImage Customizations be disabled before running other OpenGL applications.
5.3.3 Developing OpenGL Applications on Alpha Platforms
This section provides information for developing OpenGL applications that optimize the performance of PowerStorm 300/350 PCI graphics controllers on Windows NT Alpha platforms. If you have a PowerStorm 300 AGP graphics controller on an Intel platform, see Section 5.3.2.
5.3.3.1 Pixel Format Support
The PowerStorm 300/350 PCI graphics controllers and display drivers for the Windows NT Alpha platform support a fully compliant implementation of OpenGL in combination with Windows NT OpenGL. Color index mode support is provided by the Windows NT generic OpenGL implementation, and thus is not
The display driver on the PowerStorm 300 PCI graphics controller for the Windows NT Alpha platform supports the pixel formats listed in Table
