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. + +This driver allows the Windows port of XaoS to run in full screen mode. The +driver supports 256, 65536 and 16777216 color modes (24bpp and 32bpp) in all +resolutions supported by DirectX. You can change graphics mode by pressing the += key (or by using the UI/Resize menu). If the selected mode is not supported, +the driver will restore the previous setting. + +Use the -mode WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH (like -mode 640x480x16) command line option to +change graphics mode. + +If you want to start XaoS in DirectX, use the -driver dX-fullscreen option. + +See the :ref:`Win32 driver <win32>` documentation for some more Windows +releated information. + +DirectX driver was written by Jan Hubicka, Jan Olderdissen and Pavel Tzekov, +1999. |
