These specifications -for the most part are passed unmodified to cimarron. This document -only provides an overview of the customizations to the standard -configuration file definitions. - -The xorg configuration (xorg.conf) file usually exists in the system -configuration directory /etc/X11. The standard contents are documented -in the manual pages, and can typically be accessed using: -man XF86Config -The file is divided into "sections". The following information -illustrates the custom features added section by section. - - -1. Device section: - -The devices section specifies the graphics driver selection. Currently, -for the drivers that may be specified include: Section "Device" - Identifier "DevId" - Driver "vesa" - or - Driver "fbdev" - or - Driver "amd" -... -EndSection - -The "vesa" and "fbdev" selections are documented by the manual pages -man fbdev - or -man vesa -The "amd" driver has many selections that can be used to operate -the interface configuration. These selections follow: - - -2. Hardware Accelerations: - -This set of options are standard to the xorg "xaa" accelerations. -The presents of the option disables the named functionality. -Note that many accelerations depend on combinations with others, -and so disabling one may have a more pervasive effect. - - Option "XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" - Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect" - Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillTrap" - Option "XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine" - Option "XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine" - Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect" - Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" - Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillTrap" - Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" - Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" - Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" - Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect" - Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill" - Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" - Option "XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine" - Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" - Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" - Option "XaaNoSolidHorVertLine" - Option "XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine" - -Certain hardware accelerations may be armed or disarmed by using: - - Option "HWcursor" (default) -or - Option "SWcursor" - - Option "Compression" (default) -or - Option "No Compression" - - -Additionally, all accelerations may be armed or disarmed using: - - Option "Accel" (default) -or - Option "No Accel" - -This option enables/disables all rendering accelerations, HW/SW cursor, -and display compression. Certain accelerations may not be armed, even -though they are inferred by the configuration, if video memory is in -short supply. - - -3. Modes section: - -The configuration file included with the driver delivery contains an -optional "modes" section. This section asserts all of the standard -graphics/video mode configuration data. This set of modes is a subset -of the mode data in the cimarron library. Because these modes are -included, they are passed to the cimarron driver for validation. Be -aware that cimarron will select modes using a filtering function that -uses a constrained distance search. The mode in cimarron's definitions -that is "closest" to a mode defined - either builtin or user supplied - -will normally be used by cimarron. - -This filtering effect can be factored out by specifying: - - Option "CustomMode" - -This has the effect of causing the mode validation to pass any mode -in the mode pool, and allowing the selection of the specified mode -during mode switch. Unfortunately, because the interface specification -is not complete enough to support video modes. Only video modes that -exist in cimarron are possible when selecting a TVOUT mode. - - -4. More "Device" section Options: - -Since flat panels have fixed timing - that is, only one "real" mode - -the mode switch operation that normally might select a wide variety -of operational states must "adjust" the mode selection to fit the -fixed panel timing. To communicate that the mode selection is for -a flat panel, use: - Option "FlatPanel" -Note that the code expects that the flat panel will have been already -selected by the BIOS setup. Conflicts produce configuration errors. -The size adjustment usually involves scaling the source buffer -dimensions to the raster image size supported by the flat-panel. The -hardware supports this scaling operation transparently, and normally -no special considerations are needed. The hardware scaling is limited -to modes with horizontal aspects of less than 1024 pixels (buffer size -limitation for scaling/filtering). - -The display may be "rotated" in three ways, ClockWise, Upside-Down and -CounterClocwise using: - Option "Rotate" "CW" - Option "Rotate" "Invert" - Option "Rotate" "CCW" -This is accomplished using a "shadow" frame buffer, and using either -a hardware or software operation to transform the image to the -operational display buffer. - -Even though there is not strategic advantage, if you wish to use a -shadow frame buffer and display the unrotated image - this is specified -by using: - - Option "ShadowFB" - - -5. TVOUT video modes. - -In order to enable TVOUT mode selection, a TV known encoder -must be selected in the following way: - Option "TV_Encoder" "ADV7171" -or - Option "TV_Encoder" "SAA7127" -or - Option "TV_Encoder" "FS454" -or - Option "TV_Encoder" "ADV7300" -There is no default for the encoder. This selection is mandatory -to enable TVOUT modes. - -Most encoders support a variety of bus formats. Similarly, the -amd driver can select the bus data format from the following list: - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "disabled" - VOP output is disabled - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip1_1" - VIP 1.1 - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "ccir656" - CCIR 656 output - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip20_8bit" - 8-bit VIP 2.0 output - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip20_16bit" - 16-bit VIP 2.0 output - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_8bit" - 601 output, 8-bit YUV 4:2:2 - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_16bit" - 601 output, 16-bit YUV 4:2:2 - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_rgb_8_8_8" - 601 output, 24-bit RGB - Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_4_4_4" - 601 output, YUV 4:4:4 -Note that the "601" modes may need sync signals for correct operation. -See the 601 flags below to operate these selections. - -Colorspace conversion requires a projective transformation to -perform downsampling for the implied transformation. The sampling -method may be specified by selecting from: - Option "TV_Conversion" "cosited" - Option "TV_Conversion" "interspersed" - Option "TV_Conversion" "alternating" - -The TV standard selected normally specifies a known frame buffer/ -TV mode geometry. However, it is quite common that TV output -devices may expect a blanked "overscan" area. The dx,dy marginal -widths for the overscan area can be specified using: - Option "TV_Overscan" "40:30" -Note that the TV standard geometry will be scaled (and filtered) to -downscale the source buffer to destination raster image. - -TVOUT operation may be conditioned with the following set of flags. -Some of these flags are not especially usable except to the kernel, -but are included for completeness. - -These "TV_Flags" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma -separated list from the following identifier set: - singlechipcompat - Enables SCx2xx compatibility mode.. - extendedsav - Enables extended SAV/EAV codes. - vbi - Use the task bit to indicate VBI data. - task - Set Task Bit to 1in VIP 2.0 mode. Default is 0. - swap_uv - Swap the U and V data prior to output. - swap_vbi - Swap the VBI bytes prior to output. -for example: - Option "TV_Flags" "swap_uv" -or - Option "TV_Flags" "extendedsav:swap_uv" - -These "TV_601_Flags" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma -separated list from the following identifier set: - inv_de_pol - Invert the polarity of display enable - inv_hs_pol - Invert the polarity of hsync - inv_vs_pol - Invert the polarity of vsync - vsync-4 - The VSync occurs 4 clocks earlier - vsync-2 - The VSync occurs 2 clocks earlier - vsync+0 - The VSync is not shifted at all - vsync+2 - The Vsync occurs 2 clocks later -for example: - Option "TV_601_Flags" "inv_vs_pol" - -These "TV_Vsync_Select" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma -separated list from the following identifier set: - disabled - VSync out disabled - vg - The VSync signal from the VG (video generator) - vg_inv - The VSync signal from the VG (inverted) - statreg17 - 1 written to VIP status bit 17 toggles vsync (0-1-0) - statreg17_inv - 1 written to VIP status bit 17 toggles vsync (1-0-1) -for example: - Option "TV_Vsync_Select" "disabled" - - -6. Screen section: - -The screen section selects among the other various sections for -sets of operational parameters and constraints. A typical -"Screen" section has the form: - -Section "Screen" - Identifier "ScreenId" - Device "Geode" - Monitor "MonitorId" - DefaultDepth 24 - - SubSection "Display" - Depth 24 - FbBpp 32 - Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "tv-ntsc" "tv-pal" - EndSubsection -... - + Identifier "AMD Geode" + Driver "amd" + Option "blah" "blah" + ... EndSection -In this example, the "Modes" selection of the display subsection specifies a -list of available modes. These modes are selectable using "Ctl-Alt-KpPlus" or -"Ctl-Alt-KpMinus" on most PC keyboards. It is also possible to select a mode -using the xrandr utility, as well as using the X library API. - -The DefaultDepth may be 24, 16 or 8. If the depth is 24, then the "FbBpp" line -is needed to specify the frame buffer format as 32 bits (hardware limitation). -If a custom mode is specified, care should be taken to be sure it does not -collide with a "builtin" mode, since the builtin mode will supersede. - -For a more complete functional description, review that the cimarron -reference and Geode LX processor functional specifications. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -RELEASE HISTORY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Version 04.00.0000 -April 30, 2006 - -Dependencies ------------- -This release depends on and includes the following subcomponents: - -Linux Build Tool - Base GeodeLinux Build System - Version 00.00.0015 -Linux Build Tool - AMD Embedded - Version 00.00.0016 -Linux Build Tool - Bitbake engine - Version 00.00.0010 -Linux Build Tool - Openembedded - Version 00.00.0006 - -Functional Changes ------------------- -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Change: 77478 -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Archive 2.6.11 kernel and kernel modules. - -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Change: 78502 -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Tinderbox script name and version must match .bb - -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Change: 78443 -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Changes to xorg_7.0 BOM did not take the first time. - -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Change: 78552 -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Rename norwich and norwich-2.6.11 machines to geodelx and geodelx-2.6.11. - -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Change: 78556 -_____________________________________________________________________________ -Move geodelx machine to X11R7.0.

This -change includes: - * Updates to P4MOD BOMs for 2.6.11 and 2.6.15 releases. - * Updates to GeodeLinux .bb files for 2.6.11 and 2.6.15 builds. - * P4MOD search path update. - -================================================================================ -Version: 03.00.0101, Release Notes -Release Date: December 19, 2005 - -Dependencies ------------- -- Built with xorg-x11-6.7.0 from Fedora Core 2 Source Updates -- Built with X11R6.8.1 from freedesktop.org - -- This driver has been tested with Linux Kernel 2.6.11 - using the Fedora Core 2 image environment - using the Gentoo 2005.0 image environment - -- To use the Xv adaptor interface - 1) create a "videox" link to the geodev4l2 video device in /dev - ln -s video0 /dev/videox - 2) uncomment the ' Load "z4l"' line in xorg.conf - -Functional Changes ------------------- -Issue #4027 - -Defects Corrected ------------------ -PBZ#6538 - X.org patch is incompletely licensed -PBZ#4027 - HWCursor/Rotation, cursor does not traverse entire resolution area -Description: -When using HWCursor, cursor can not traverse the entire visable area of *MOST* -(there are exceptions) rotated modes. The failures exist as edges which the -cursor can not travel to. Failing edges differ according to rotation. -Resolution: -Cursor "hotspot" error corrected. - -PBZ#4463 - 8 bpp, x11perf SWCRC --> HWCRC comparison fails paint8_03 ... -PBZ#4665 - LX Xorg Driver will not patch successfully if GX Xorg Pat... -PBZ#5025 - mode changes with xrandr, graphics distorted - -Known Errata ------------- -PBZ#4025 X - Rotations{90,270}, only lowest refresh rate pass mode validation -Description: -At 90 and 270 degree rotations, only the lowest supported refresh -rate can be entered. The rest of the refresh rates appear to fail mode -validation (xrandr does not see them as options, and I can not CTL->ALT->+/- -through the modes). This issue does not occur at 0 or 180 degree rotations. -Resolution: -This is an inherent weakness of the X mode switch -- where even a -full X R&R implementation would not fix this. -Steps to address will need to be: -(1) convert AMD rotation support to X R&R -(2) patch X to better handle X R&R -This may be addressed in a future version. - -PBZ#5993 - HWScaling mode hsync out of range error - -================================================================================ -Previous Version: 1.02.0900 -Release Date: 26 May 2005 - -Dependencies ------------- -- Built with xorg-x11-6.7.0 from Fedora Core 2 Source Updates -- Built with X11R6.8.1 from freedesktop.org - -- This driver has been tested with Linux Kernel 2.6.11 - using the Fedora Core 2 image environment - using the Gentoo 2004.3 image environment - -- To use the Xv adaptor interface - 1) create a "videox" link to the geodev4l2 video device in /dev - ln -s video0 /dev/videox - 2) uncomment the ' Load "z4l"' line in xorg.conf - +The following options may be added to the section: -Functional Changes ------------------- -- First release +== GX == -Defects Corrected ------------------ -- First release +SWCursor: Enable software cursors (essentially disabling HW cursor support) +NoCompression: Disable video bandwidth compression +NoAccel: Disable hardware assisted acceleration +AccelMethod: "EXA" (default) or "XAA" +Rotate: Select a orientation to start with - LEFT, INVERT, CCW +NoPanel: Disable panel support +OSMImageBuffers: Set the number of image buffers (XAA only) +OSMColorExpBuffers: Set the number of color expansion buffers (XAA only) +FBSize: Specify the size of the video space (in bytes) +PanelGeometry: Specify the geometry of the attached panel ("<width>x<height>") -Known Errata ------------- -Issue: +== LX == -PBZ#4025 X - Rotations{90,270}, only lowest refresh rate pass mode validation -Description: -At 90 and 270 degree rotations, only the lowest supported refresh -rate can be entered.
