RE: [AD] Problem with Geode GX1

Are you using the DOS build of Allegro? If the chip is being detected
ans used as VESA, you'll get no hardware acceleration (because VESA
doesn't define any).

Subject: [AD] Problem with Geode GX1

Hi, 

I'm newbie with allegro, but I need to use it with a embebed CPU called
AMD Geode GX1

The problem is that, the technical specification saids that it has
BitBLT accelerator by Allegro do not detected it.

Any clue ?

There is any routine to check hardware capabilities at ones?

Thanks.
