I have been trying to figure out how to get the hardware cursor going on the
S3 86c911 and 86c924 chips. I have managed to get it up on the screen, but
I can't seem to get the downloading of the data to work (I have been looking
at the source for XS3 for details). Could someone with access to the 
info on the S3's please mail me details about the hardware cursor.

I have contacted S3 about programming info, but they have not been back
in touch as yet (so I don't know if it is coming :-(, and I need to get this
going ASAP.

Please reply via email... (I can summarise if people are interested)...
