Windows device driver information for Silicon Motion Lynx3DM Family
Silicon Motion Lynx3DM family is a display or graphics/video controller which is produced by Silicon Motions Inc. A video controller is a device which is used to generate Television video signals for a gaming as well as computing system. Some of the display controllers are also responsible for the generation of sound signals though this isn't the central purpose. The Silicon Motion Lynx3DM family has a number of desirable features which make it a product of choice among graphic controller users. It offers improved multi- display as well as MPEG2/DVD playback which is hardware accelerated. The product provides superior graphics and has been incorporated into several other products by other companies. For instance, Lynx3Dm was incorporated into Mebius Murumasa notebook by Sharp which is available in Japanese markets. IBM also included Lynx3DM in its mini- notebooks known as ThinkPad i Series s30 which is also available in Japanese markets.

To check your drivers you should manually verify every device on your system for driver updates
The Silicon Motion Lynx3DM family has been designed using the ReduceOn technology for power management. ReduceOn is a technology for power management which varies clock as well as power algorithmically to functional units with reference to the demands of the system. Thus when using the Silicon Motions Lynx3DM family, users will find that the consumption of power on their devices is radically reduced. Lynx3DM also has a 2D as well as 3D engine for mobile graphics with 128-bit performance. The graphics engine also has embedded 4 MB SDRAM, an 8 MB SDRAM or a 16 MB SDRAM. SDRAM is an acronym for Synchronous dynamic random access memory and it comes with a synchronous interface. This implies that it will only respond to control inputs after getting a clock signal. For those looking for a display controller which has low power consumption, the Silicon Motion Lynx3DM family offers a good choice. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for Windows and Silicon Motion Lynx3DM Family errors before installing any driver updates.

Description
siliconmotion is an Xorg driver for Silicon Motion based video cards. The driver isfully accelerated, and provides support for the following framebuffer depths: 8, 16, and 24. All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visualsare supported for the other depths.Supported Hardware

driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the followingSilicon Motion chips:- Multihead mode configuration is done through the RandR1.2 interface (see xorg.conf(5) and xrandr(1) for further information). Hardwareaccelerated screen rotation and framebuffer resizing are only supported with the EXA acceleration architecture (see the AccelMethod optionbelow).
- Option CSCVideoboolean
- CSC video uses color space conversion to render video directly to the framebuffer, without using an overlay. Only available on MSOC chips. Default:on.
- Option NoAccel
- Disable acceleration. Very useful for determining if the driver has problems with drawing and acceleration routines. This is the first option to try ifyour server runs but you see graphic corruption on the screen. Using it decreases performance, as it uses software emulation for drawing operations the videodriver can accelerate with hardware. Default: acceleration is enabled.
- Option AccelMethodstring
- Chooses between available acceleration architectures. Valid options are XAA and EXA. XAA is the traditional acceleration architecture andsupport for it is very stable. EXA is a newer acceleration architecture with better performance for the Render and Composite extensions, but the rendering codefor it is newer and possibly unstable. The default is XAA.
The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the following ChipSet names may optionally be specified in the config file Device section, andwill override the auto-detection:
'lynx', 'lynxe', 'lynx3d', 'lynxem', 'lynxem+', 'lynx3dm', 'cougar3dr', 'msoc'.
The following Cursor Options are supported:
The following display Options are supported:
The following video memory Options are supported:
The following PCI bus Options are supported:
