+
+ 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 "Intel i740"
+ Driver "i740"
+ EndSection
+
+
+ or let xorgconfig do this for you.
+
+ However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
+
+ +o VideoRam - in kilobytes
+
+ +o DacSpeed - in MHz
+
+ +o MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
+
+ +o IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
+
+
+
+ 6. Driver Options
+
+
+ +o "NoAccel" - Turn off hardware acceleration
+
+ +o "SWCursor" - Request a software cursor (hardware is default)
+
+ +o "SDRAM" - Force the use of SDRAM timings
+
+ +o "SGRAM" - Force the use of SGRAM timings
+
+ +o "SlowRam" - Force the use of slower ram timings
+
+ +o "Dac6Bit" - Force the use of a 6 Bit Dac (8 Bit is the default)
+
+ +o "UsePIO - Force the use of programmed IO (Memory mapped is the
+ default)
+
+ Note: the i740 X server should automatically detect whether your card
+ has SGRAM or SDRAM. Use the "sgram" and "sdram" options if it is
+ incorrectly detected.
+
+
+
+ 7. Known Limitations
+
+
+ +o Certain drawing operations are very slow when using 24 bit pixel
+ depth mode.
