Release Notes - Windows 3.1 Alpine Drivers
==========================================

1. Vendor Supported Alpine Chipsets
   ================================
   This release provides transparent support for the following chipsets
   in the Cirrus Logic Alpine family: GD5430, GD54M30, GD5434, GD5436,
   and GD5440. If an Alpine family chip is not detected, the Setup
   program assumes a GD5430 chipset by default. Note that although
   completely based on Cirrus drivers and utilities, this transparent
   support is neither provided nor approved by Cirrus Logic directly.

2. Vendor International Support
   ============================
   This release from your vendor provides transparent support for
   English/International, European, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional),
   Japanese, Thai and Korean editions of Windows. Again, this support, 
   while based on Cirrus international support, is neither provided nor
   approved by Cirrus Logic directly.

3. Using the Windows SETUP Program to Change Drivers
   =================================================
   If you use the Windows SETUP program to switch among drivers
   (either in Windows or from the DOS command line), always elect
   to use the CURRENT installed driver unless you have a new
   Windows driver diskette. If you need to re-install the original
   drivers included with the your board, run the Setup program on
   the diskette included with your display card.

4. Japanese Windows Font Sizes
   ===========================
   Although WINMODE gives you the option of selecting among four different
   font sizes, the Setup program only installs full support for small (16 dot)
   and large (20 dot) fonts. If you wish to enable full font support, please
   install the additional fonts from your original Win/J disks and then edit
   the WINMODE.INI file, referring to the commented instructions in that file.

5. On-the-Fly Mode Switching under Asian Editions of Windows
   =========================================================
   On-the-fly mode switching (using EZ Res or WinMode) is not fully supported
   by double byte Asian editions of Windows in this release.

6. On-the-Fly Mode Switching under Windows
   =======================================
   When switching modes on-the-fly the Windows desktop color may be lost;
   this is a known problem which may be fixed by Cirrus Logic in a later
   release.

7. Revisions
   =========
   10/25/95 : Fixed Thai font problem
              Added Simplified Chinese support
