The default is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Enables or disables all hardware acceleration. -.br -The default is to -.B enable -hardware acceleration. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qDac6Bit\*q \*q" boolean \*q -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. -.br -The default is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qVideoKey\*q \*q" integer \*q -This overrides the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. -.br -The default value is -.B 0x1E. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qUseFBDev\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Enable or disable use of an OS\-specific framebuffer device interface -(which is not supported on all OSs). MergedFB does not work when this -option is in use. See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) for further information. -.br -The default is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qAGPMode\*q \*q" integer \*q -Set AGP data transfer rate. -(used only when DRI is enabled) -.br -1 \-\- x1 (default) -.br -2 \-\- x2 -.br -4 \-\- x4 -.br -others \-\- invalid -.TP -.BI "Option \*qAGPFastWrite\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Enable AGP fast write. -.br -(used only when DRI is enabled) -.br -The default is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qBusType\*q \*q" string \*q -Used to replace previous ForcePCIMode option. -Should only be used when driver's bus detection is incorrect -or you want to force a AGP card to PCI mode. Should NEVER force -a PCI card to AGP bus. -.br -PCI \-\- PCI bus -.br -AGP \-\- AGP bus -.br -PCIE \-\- PCI Express (falls back to PCI at present) -.br -(used only when DRI is enabled) -.br -The default is -.B auto detect. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qDDCMode\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Force to use the modes queried from the connected monitor. -.br -The default is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qDisplayPriority\*q \*q" string \*q -.br -Used to prevent flickering or tearing problem caused by display buffer underflow. -.br -AUTO \-\- Driver calculated (default). -.br -BIOS \-\- Remain unchanged from BIOS setting. - Use this if the calculation is not correct - for your card. -.br -HIGH \-\- Force to the highest priority. - Use this if you have problem with above options. - This may affect performance slightly. -.br -The default value is -.B AUTO. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qMonitorLayout\*q \*q" string \*q -.br -This option is used to overwrite the detected monitor types. -This is only required when driver makes a false detection. -The possible monitor types are: -.br -NONE \-\- Not connected -.br -CRT \-\- Analog CRT monitor -.br -TMDS \-\- Desktop flat panel -.br -LVDS \-\- Laptop flat panel -.br -This option can be used in following format: -.br -Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]" -.br -For example, Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, TMDS" - -Primary/Secondary head for dual\-head cards: -.br -(when only one port is used, it will be treated as the primary regardless) -.br -.B Primary head: -.br -DVI port on DVI+VGA cards -.br -LCD output on laptops -.br -Internal TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards -.br -.B Secondary head: -.br -VGA port on DVI+VGA cards -.br -VGA port on laptops -.br -External TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards - -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qMergedFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q -This enables merged framebuffer mode. In this mode you have a single -shared framebuffer with two viewports looking into it. It is similar -to Xinerama, but has some advantages. It is faster than Xinerama, the -DRI works on both heads, and it supports clone modes. -.br -Merged framebuffer mode provides two linked viewports looking into a -single large shared framebuffer. The size of the framebuffer is -determined by the -.B Virtual -keyword defined on the -.B Screen -section of your XF86Config file. It works just like regular virtual -desktop except you have two viewports looking into it instead of one. -.br -For example, if you wanted a desktop composed of two 1024x768 viewports -looking into a single desktop you would create a virtual desktop of -2048x768 (left/right) or 1024x1536 (above/below), e.g., -.br -.B Virtual 2048 768 -or -.B Virtual 1024 1536 -.br -The virtual desktop can be larger than larger than the size of the viewports -looking into it. In this case the linked viewports will scroll around in the -virtual desktop. Viewports with different sizes are also supported (e.g., one -that is 1024x768 and one that is 640x480). In this case the smaller viewport -will scroll relative to the larger one such that none of the virtual desktop -is inaccessable. If you do not define a virtual desktop the driver will create -one based on the orientation of the heads and size of the largest defined mode in -the display section that is supported on each head. -.br -The relation of the viewports in specified by the -.B CRT2Position -Option. The options are -.B Clone -, -.B LeftOf -, -.B RightOf -, -.B Above -, and -.B Below. -MergedFB is enabled by default if a monitor is detected on each output. If -no position is given it defaults to clone mode (the old clone options are now -deprecated, also, the option OverlayOnCRTC2 has been replaced by the Xv -attribute XV_SWITCHCRT; the overlay can be switched to CRT1 or CRT2 on the fly -in clone mode). -.br -The maximum framebuffer size that the 2D acceleration engine can handle is -8192x8192. The maximum framebuffer size that the 3D engine can handle is -2048x2048. -.br -.B Note: -Page flipping does not work well in certain configurations with MergedFB. If you -see rendering errors or other strange behavior, disable page flipping. Also MergedFB -is not compatible with the -.B UseFBDev -option. -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qCRT2HSync\*q \*q" "string" \*q -Set the horizontal sync range for the secondary monitor. -It is not required if a DDC\-capable monitor is connected. -.br -For example, Option "CRT2HSync" "30.0-86.0" -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qCRT2VRefresh\*q \*q" "string" \*q -Set the vertical refresh range for the secondary monitor. -It is not required if a DDC\-capable monitor is connected. -.br -For example, Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50.0-120.0" -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qCRT2Position\*q \*q" "string" \*q -Set the relationship of CRT2 relative to CRT1. Valid options are: -.B Clone -, -.B LeftOf -, -.B RightOf -, -.B Above -, and -.B Below -. -.br -For example, Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf" -.br -The default value is -.B Clone. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qMetaModes\*q \*q" "string" \*q -MetaModes are mode combinations for CRT1 and CRT2. If you are using merged -frame buffer mode and want to change modes (CTRL-ALT-+/-), these define which -modes will be switched to on CRT1 and CRT2. The MetaModes are defined as -CRT1Mode-CRT2Mode (800x600-1024x768). Modes listed individually (800x600) -define clone modes, that way you can mix clone modes with non-clone modes. -Also some programs require "standard" modes. -.br -Note: Any mode you use in the MetaModes must be defined in the -.B Screen -section of your XF86Config file. Modes not defined there will be ignored when -the MetaModes are parsed since the driver uses them to make sure the monitors can -handle those modes. If you do not define a MetaMode the driver will create -one based on the orientation of the heads and size of the largest defined mode in -the display section that is supported on each head. -.br -.B Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" -.br -For example, Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768 800x600-1024x768 640x480-800x600 800x600" -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qNoMergedXinerama\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Since merged framebuffer mode does not use Xinerama, apps are not able to intelligently -place windows. Merged framebuffer mode provides its own pseudo-Xinerama. This allows -Xinerama compliant applications to place windows appropriately. There are some caveats. -Since merged framebuffer mode is able to change relative screen sizes and orientations on -the fly, as well has having overlapping viewports, pseudo-Xinerama, might not always -provide the right hints. Also many Xinerama compliant applications only query Xinerama -once at startup; if the information changes, they may not be aware of the change. If -you are already using Xinerama (e.g., a single head card and a dualhead card providing -three heads), pseudo-Xinerama will be disabled. -.br -This option allows you turn off the driver provided pseudo-Xinerama extension. -.br -The default value is -.B FALSE. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qMergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0\*q \*q" boolean \*q -By default the pseudo-Xinerama provided by the driver makes the left-most or bottom -head Xinerama screen 0. Certain Xinerama-aware applications do special things with -screen 0. To change that behavior, use this option. -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qMergedDPI\*q \*q" "string" \*q -The driver will attempt to figure out an appropriate DPI based on the DDC information -and the orientation of the heads when in merged framebuffer mode. If this value does -not suit you, you can manually set the DPI using this option. -.br -For example, Option "MergedDPI" "100 100" -.br -The default value is -.B undefined. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qIgnoreEDID\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Do not use EDID data for mode validation, but DDC is still used -for monitor detection. This is different from NoDDC option. -.br -The default value is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qPanelSize\*q \*q" "string" \*q -Should only be used when driver cannot detect the correct panel size. -Apply to both desktop (TMDS) and laptop (LVDS) digital panels. -When a valid panel size is specified, the timings collected from -DDC and BIOS will not be used. If you have a panel with timings -different from that of a standard VESA mode, you have to provide -this information through the Modeline. -.br -For example, Option "PanelSize" "1400x1050" -.br -The default value is -.B none. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qPanelOff\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Disable panel output. -.br -The default value is -.B off. -.TP -.BI "Option \*qEnablePageFlip\*q \*q" boolean \*q -Enable page flipping for 3D acceleration. This will increase performance -but not work correctly in some rare cases, hence the default is -.B off. -.br -.B Note: -Page flipping does not work well in certain configurations with MergedFB. If you -see rendering errors or other strange behavior, disable page flipping. - - -.SH SEE ALSO -XFree86(1), XF86Config(__filemansuffix__), xf86config(1), Xserver(1), X(__miscmansuffix__) -.SH AUTHORS -.nf -Authors include: ... |
