                   The Beta 9 of the device driver is released. Here are the changes to the Beta
8:

                       Added uninstall icon back into the Workplace Shell icon list.
                       Fixed bugs in hardware line drawing and re-enabled line drawing for all
drivers. Checked to
                       ensure that JMark line drawing tests work properly.
                       Fixed bitmap corruption problems and crashes in Netscape when running in
24bit display
                       modes.
                       Fixed problems causing SDD/2 to crash on SMP systems. You should now
be able to run
                       SDD/2 on SMP versions of OS/2 without a problem (although the write
combining support
                       needs some work).
                       Fixed crash problem with S3 boards when exiting from fullscreen DOS or
WinOS/2 sessions.
                       Also fixed problems when starting WinOS/2 sessions on S3 Trio64 based
boards, or switching
                       to and from fullscreen DOS sessions.
                       Fixed problems with S3 Trio based boards displaying garbage bitmaps
and icons on the
                       desktop. Also appears to have fixed the bogus black lines in the cursor
image that you see
                       occasionally.
                       Fixed bugs in S3 Trio and S3 Vision line drawing, cause bogus lines to draw
on the screen in
                       various places.
                       Major re-write of display memory FIFO handling for S3 Trio32/64/64V+
family of boards. This
                       eliminated the display distortion on these boards, and they should all now
be working properly.
                       You can also get much higher refresh rates with these boards than you
could before.
                       Fixed acceleration code for S3 Trio32 and Trio64 boards, causing only the
first meg of memory
                       to be available in low resolution display mode. All display modes should
flip correctly with
                       GACtrl now.
                       Fixed problem with black screen and black icons for Rage IIC and earlier
ATI chipsets. Also fixed
                       problems related to the hardware cursor not being able to correctly move off
the top of the
                       screen.
                       Fixed cursor glitches for ATI Rage family of chipsets, causing the cursor to
temporarily go black
                       when the mouse cursor image changes.
