WINDOWS 3.1 DRIVERS:
    We advise our customers to use linear frame buffer drivers if hardware
    supports linear addressing. Following notes are applied to these
    drivers:
    1. High in performance and continue to improve in features and performance.
    2. One driver supports Multi spatial resolutions.
    3. Pen compliance.
    4. Supports panning if driver resolution is more than the display size
       of the panel.
    5. Supports display switching using Control Panel Applet and/or with
       hot key if OEM BIOS meets the CHIPS spec for display switching.
       Note: We do not allow display switch if Windowed VM has focus.
    6. Needs WINMEM32.DLL to be present in the SYSTEM directory.
    7. Can not run in the Windows standard mode (WIN /s or WIN/2).

	    driver and renders the image in the planar format which is not
	    displayed correctly on our 4BPP packed pixel driver(LINEAR4.DRV).
