    - Microsoft* Windows XP*/XPe* (and derivatives)

    - Microsoft* Windows* Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7)
 
    - DOS / VESA based OS   (VBIOS)
   
    - UEFI (GOP)

IMPORTANT: Features/ Limitations/ Known Issues
==============================================

Features:
=========
This release contains the following features/ limitations. 

 - CH7511* support for DP/eDP to LVDS converter chip on Windows* XP 
   and Windows* Embedded Compact 7.

 - Bug fixes. Please refer to Known Issues section for more detail.

Please report any sighting through the Intel® Premier Support process.

 - Supports Intel(R) Atom(TM) Express Chipset N2000/D2000

Limitations:
============
    - Hardware acceleration for 3D graphics is limited to pure DX9.  
	DX7 "fixed function" features are not supported and use will
        result in image distortion or error messages.

    - Hardware accelerated video decode is not supported. Software
        decode is supported per the Technical Product Spec.

    - CH7511* DP->LVDS converter does not have a panel fitter or scalar 
      the same way a DP monitor does, therefore non-EDID timing can 
      NOT be supported at this point.

    - When a monitor with HDMI and DVI Interface is used, 
      1. HDMI Display will export different set of timing compared to 
         HDMI-TO-DVI Converter (HDMI normally includes the CEA (Consumer
         Electronics Association) timing).
      2. When HDMI-to-DVI Converter is used on the same HDMI port, 
         there will be different sets of timing returned 
         (e.g. only the DVI timings are returned and may be missing 
         HDMI CEA timings or etc.). 


Please see the Technical Product Spec (TPS - available on CDI/IBL)
for details on other supported and unsupported features.   


Known Issues:
=============
    - Please refer to the "Spec Update" of the driver release for more 
      detailed information about the driver known sightings and possible
      resolutions. The "Spec Update" can be obtained from IBL/CDI.
