+
+ 1. Supported Hardware
+
+
+ +o ATI Rage 128 based cards
+
+
+
+ 2. Features
+
+
+ +o Full support (including hardware accelerated 2D drawing) for 8, 15,
+ 16, 24 bit pixel depths.
+
+ +o Hardware cursor support to reduce sprite flicker.
+
+ +o Support for high resolution video modes up to 1800x1440 @ 70Hz.
+
+ +o Support for doublescan video modes (e.g., 320x200 and 320x240).
+
+ +o Support for gamma correction at all pixel depths.
+
+ +o Fully programmable clock supported.
+
+ +o Robust text mode restore for VT switching.
+
+
+
+ 3. Technical Notes
+
+
+ +o None
+
+
+
+ 4. Reported Working Video Cards
+
+
+ +o Rage Fury AGP 32MB
+
+ +o XPERT 128 AGP 16MB
+
+ +o XPERT 99 AGP 8MB
+
+
+
+ 5. Configuration
+
+ The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize
+ the card. The only lines you need in the "Device" section of your
+ xorg.conf file are:
+
+ Section "Device"
+ Identifier "Rage 128"
+ Driver "r128"
+ EndSection
+
+
+ or let xorgconfig do this for you.
+
+ However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
+
+ +o VideoRam - in kilobytes
+
+ +o MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
+
+ +o IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
+
+ +o ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
+
+
+
+ 6. Driver Options
+
+
+ +o "hw_cursor" - request hardware cursor (default)
+
+ +o "sw_cursor" - software cursor only
+
+ +o "no_accel" - software rendering only
+
+ +o "dac_8_bit" - use color weight 888 in 8 bpp mode (default)
+
+ +o "dac_6_bit" - use color weight 666 in 8 bpp mode (VGA emulation)
+
+
+
+ 7. Known Limitations
+
+
+ +o None
+
+
+
+ 8. Authors
+
+ The X11R6.8 driver was originally part of XFree86 4.4 rc2.
+
+ The XFree86 4 driver was ported from XFree86 3.3.x and enhanced by:
+
+ +o Rickard E. (Rik) Faith <faith@precisioninsight.com>
+
+ +o Kevin E. Martin <kevin@precisioninsight.com>
+
+ The XFree86 4 driver was funded by ATI and was donated to The XFree86
+ Project by:
+
+ Precision Insight, Inc.
+ Cedar Park, TX
+ USA
+
+
+ The XFree86 3.3.x driver used for the port was written by:
+
+ +o Rickard E. (Rik) Faith <faith@precisioninsight.com>
+
+ +o Kevin E. Martin <kevin@precisioninsight.com>
+
+ The XFree86 3.3.x driver was funded by ATI and was donated to The
+ XFree86 Project by Precision Insight, Inc. It was based in part on
+ an earlier driver that was written by:
+
+ +o Alan Hourihane <alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk>
+
+ +o Dirk Hohndel <hohndel@suse.de>
+
+ This early driver was funded and donated to The XFree86 Project by:
