Q1: Tell me more about ATI Radeon X families
A1: OK,
R500 is not supported by SNAP, works with Panorama VESA (x1300, x1600, etc)
R400 (x600, x700, x800) are supported by SNAP (it's like R300 but PCI-E)
R300 (9500..9800) are supported by SNAP
R200 is supported by Panorama R200 (8500..9250)
R100 is supported by Panorama R200 (7000..7500)
Q2: My computer is based on PCI-X. Which videocard to buy?
A2: You can't install AGP ATI Radeon RV280 adapters. Your PCI-X computer
should be equipped with PCI bus. So, buy PCI video adapter.

Q3: Does Panorama support my ATI Radeon videocard?
A3: Please, download this PCI+AGP bus sniffer:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/misc/pci103vka.zip
Run:
pci.exe > mypci.log
pci.exe /D > mypcidump.log
and send us logs mypci.log and mypcidump.log
We will check if Panorama knows about your adapter.
Q4: Why Panorama supports ATI Radeon R200 cards only?
A4: We are supporting ATI Radeon cards so far because:
- you can easily migrate to this adapter. This cards are modern
(you can purchase it in any computer supermarket);
- this cards are optimal for eComStation and OS/2 users;
that's why this family is optimal for beginning.
Q5: Are you going support more video chipsets?
A5: Our goal is reform the poor situation with video drivers in eComStation
and OS/2. Yes, we are planning to support more chipsets.
For example, Panorama R200 may be improved to support R300 (9500..9800)
Q6: How to disable Panorama videodriver?
A6: To disable Panorama videodriver (keep it installed), edit your CONFIG.SYS,
replace old line
SET C1=DYNGRADD
with new line:
SET C1=SDDGRADD
