+DirectX windowed driver
+=======================
+
+This is a driver for Windows 9x and NT. It is new since version 3.1 and because
+of some oddities of Windows API and kludges in DirectX it may be rather
+unstable. Please report all bugs. In case of problems you could use the DOS
+version of XaoS instead.
+
+The DirectX driver is an alternative to the windowed :ref:`win32 driver
+<win32>`. If you have DirectX installed, this driver is used by default. It has
+almost the same behaviour as the :ref:`win32 driver <win32>` so please read its
+documentation for more details. The only difference should be the display
+speed.
+
+The driver supports only hicolor and truecolor modes. There is no support for
+256 and 16 color modes because of palette collision problems. The win32 driver
+will be used in these cases by default, so this should cause no problems.
+
+If you are experiencing problems with this driver, you might want to use the
+:ref:`win32 driver <win32>` by default; to do this, use the -driver win32
+command line option.
+
+DirectX driver was written by Jan Hubicka, Jan Olderdissen and Pavel Tzekov,
+1999.
