r128 is an XFree86 driver for ATI Rage 128 based video cards.
It contains full support for 8, 15, 16 and 24 bit pixel depths, hardware
acceleration of drawing primitives, hardware cursor, video modes up to
1800x1440 @ 70Hz, doublescan modes (e.g., 320x200 and 320x240), gamma correction
at all pixel depths, a fully programming dot clock and robust text mode
restoration for VT switching.
The r128 driver supports
all ATI Rage 128 based video cards including the Rage Fury AGP 32MB, the
XPERT 128 AGP 16MB and the XPERT 99 AGP 8MB.
Please
refer to XF86Config(5)
for general configuration details. This section
only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
The driver auto-detects
all device information necessary to initialize the card. However, if you
have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
VideoRam - in kilobytes
MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
IOBase - physical address of the MMIO registers
ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
In addition, the following driver Options are supported:
- Option "SWcursor" "boolean"
- Selects software cursor. The default is off.
- Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
- Enables or disables all hardware acceleration.
The default is to enable hardware acceleration.
- Option "Dac6Bit" "boolean"
- Enables or disables the use of 6 bits per color component when in 8 bpp
mode (emulates VGA mode). By default, all 8 bits per color component are
used. The default is off.
- Option "VideoKey" "integer"
- This overrides the
default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. The default value is
undefined.
- Option "Display" "string"
- Select display mode for devices which
support flat panels. Supported modes are:
"FP" - use flat panel;
"CRT"
- use cathode ray tube;
"Mirror" - use both FP and CRT;
"BIOS" - use mode
as configured in the BIOS.
The default is FP.
The following Options are
mostly important for non-x86 architectures:
- Option "ProgramFPRegs" "boolean"
- Enable or disable programming of the flat panel registers. Beware that this
may damage your panel, so use this at your own risk. The default depends
on the device.
- Option "PanelWidth" "integer"
- Option "PanelHeight" "integer"
- Override the flat panel dimensions in pixels. They are used to program the
flat panel registers and normally determined using the video card BIOS.
If the wrong dimensions are used, the system may hang.
- Option "UseFBDev"
"boolean"
- Enable or disable use of an OS-specific framebuffer device interface
(which is not supported on all OSs). See fbdevhw(4)
for further information.
Default: off.
The following additional Options are supported:
- Option "ShowCache"
"boolean"
- Enable or disable viewing offscreen cache memory. A development
debug option. Default: off.
