Update /etc/udev/local.rules file for symlinking videox -> video0 at hotplug event for GeodeLinux. _____________________________________________________________________________ Change: 78909 _____________________________________________________________________________ Patches for $ 'cross' compile. Gentoo and Debian store 32bit libraries in /lib32 and 64bit in /lib64. There are apparently two standards for this, but I'm patching gcc to follow Gentoo/Debian multilib convention. This is still giving a build failure in libstdc++-v3, however, pulling in multilib libraries. _____________________________________________________________________________ Change: 81109 _____________________________________________________________________________ Remove xterm from validation-image. Symlink rxvt -> xterm instead. Replace eog with gqview in validation-image. Remove AMD_DRIVER_VERSION mangling from klocwork.bbclass.

To operate this API with a widely, a set of operational customizations were added to the xorg.conf configuration file. 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 ... 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.

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.

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. ================================================================================ Copyright --------- Copyright 2005 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
