Yesterday I upgraded to version 1.22 of the W95 video driver for my
TP560. An immediate 25% video speedup - very cool. (I have a P133 DSTN
model, BTW). The curious thing is that in the docs that come with the
driver, it says that my machine should now be capable of high color
on the LCD. Now, I didn't believe it (I thought DSTN displays were
limited to 256), and in fact I see no such improvement; however, the
docs are quite clear about this in a couple of places. I quote:
<1.02>
- (Fix) (ThinkPad 560 only)
The color depth with 16M colors is selectable on LCD.
- (Fix) (ThinkPad 560 DSTN LCD model only)
The color depth with 64K or 16M colors is selectable on LCD when
the computer has a Cyber9382 video controller chip installed.
<1.12>
- (Fix) The ThinkPad 560 (9382) DSTN model can select 64K or 16M
colors on LCD.
<1.22>
- (Fix) (ThinkPad 560 DSTN LCD model only) Some garbage on screen
intermittently in 800x600 64K color mode.
So, what's the deal? Should I in fact now have a 64K or 16M option in
the system settings? I don't, but would like one (I miss fint
smoothing).
