This version changes are:

Changes in 3.0.0 RC1 (build 453)
--------------------------------

. Added full acceleration support for the Intel i915G (Grantsdale) and Intel i852/855 laptop chipsets. Note that the i915G video BIOS may be limited to 1024x768 when running on DVI.

. Added full acceleration support for the ATI Radeon IGP 320M, Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP, Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP, and Radeon 9100 Pro IGP.

. Added support for an additional PCI ID for the Radeon 9600 Series to support the Radeon 9600 SE, and the Radeon 9600 XT is now certified separately. Renamed the "Radeon 9200" driver to "Radeon 9200 Series" to indicate that it supports the 9200, 9200 Pro, and 9200 SE.

. Added support for the Silicon Motion LynxEM chipset (CRT output; LCD output may not be working correctly for all modes).

. DDC monitor detection is now working correctly on the Nvidia NForce and NForce2 integrated graphics chipsets.

. DDC monitor detection is now working correctly on the ATI Rage XL, Rage LT Pro, and Rage Mobility graphics chipsets. Newer variants of the Rage XL now have higher resolutions available as well.

. The VBE 3.0 driver now detects when it is running on a digital panel, and disables refresh rate control, which was causing display failures.

. DDC detection via the BIOS now works for chipsets which don't have native DDC support, such as the VBE drivers.

. Mapped out some high refresh rates that caused lockups on some Trident 975 cards. The Trident 985 has also been recertified.

. The i810/i815 driver was failing in OS/2 command line boot; fixed.
