Default: acceleration is enabled. - - Option "SWCursor" "boolean" - Disable or enable software cursor. Default: software cursor is dis‐ - able and a hardware cursor is used for configurations where the - hardware cursor is available. - - Option "ColorKey" "integer" - This sets the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. - Default: undefined. - - Option "CacheLines" "integer" - This allows the user to change the amount of graphics memory used for - 2D acceleration and video. Decreasing this amount leaves more for 3D - textures. Increasing it can improve 2D performance at the expense of - 3D performance. Default: depends on the resolution, depth, and - available video memory. The driver attempts to allocate at least - enough to hold two DVD-sized YUV buffers by default. The default - used for a specific configuration can be found by examining the Xorg - log file. - - Option "DRI" "boolean" - Disable or enable DRI support. Default: DRI is enabled for configu‐ - rations where it is supported. - - The following driver Options are supported for the i810 and i815 chipsets: - - Option "DDC" "boolean" - Disable or enable DDC support. Default: enabled. - - Option "Dac6Bit" "boolean" - Enable or disable 6-bits per RGB for 8-bit modes. Default: 8-bits - per RGB for 8-bit modes. - - Option "XvMCSurfaces" "integer" - This option enables XvMC. The integer parameter specifies the number - of surfaces to use. Valid values are 6 and 7. Default: XvMC is dis‐ - abled. - - The following driver Options are supported for the 830M and later chipsets: - - Option "VBERestore" "boolean" - Enable or disable the use of VBE save/restore for saving and restor‐ - ing the initial text mode. This is disabled by default because it - causes lockups on some platforms. However, there are some cases - where it must enabled for the correct restoration of the initial - video mode. If you are having a problem with that, try enabling this - option. Default: Disabled. - - Option "VideoKey" "integer" - This is the same as the "ColorKey" option described above. It is - provided for compatibility with most other drivers. - - Option "XVideo" "boolean" - Disable or enable XVideo support. Default: XVideo is enabled for - configurations where it is supported. - - Option "MonitorLayout" "anystr" - Allow different monitor configurations. e.g. "CRT,LFP" will configure - a CRT on Pipe A and an LFP on Pipe B. Regardless of the primary - heads’ pipe it is always configured as "<PIPEA>,<PIPEB>". Addition‐ - ally you can add different configurations such as "CRT+DFP,LFP" which - would put a digital flat panel and a CRT on pipe A, and a local flat - panel on pipe B. For single pipe configurations you can just specify - the monitors types on Pipe A, such as "CRT+DFP" which will enable the - CRT and DFP on Pipe A. Valid monitors are CRT, LFP, DFP, TV, CRT2, - LFP2, DFP2, TV2 and NONE. NOTE: Some configurations of monitor types - may fail, this depends on the Video BIOS and system configuration. - Default: Not configured, and will use the current head’s pipe and - monitor. - - Option "Clone" "boolean" - Enable Clone mode on pipe B. This will setup the second head as a - complete mirror of the monitor attached to pipe A. NOTE: Video over‐ - lay functions will not work on the second head in this mode. If you - require this, then use the MonitorLayout above and do (as an example) - "CRT+DFP,NONE" to configure both a CRT and DFP on Pipe A to achieve - local mirroring and disable the use of this option. Default: Clone - mode on pipe B is disabled. - - Option "CloneRefresh" "integer" - When the Clone option is specified we can drive the second monitor at - a different refresh rate than the primary. Default: 60Hz. - - Option "CheckLid" "boolean" - On mobile platforms it’s desirable to monitor the lid status and - switch the outputs accordingly when the lid is opened or closed. By - default this option is on, but may incur a very minor performance - penalty as we need to poll a register on the card to check for this - activity. It can be turned off using this option. This only works - with the 830M, 852GM and 855GM systems. Default: enabled. - - Option "FlipPrimary" "boolean" - When using a dual pipe system, it may be preferable to switch the - primary screen to the alternate pipe to display on the other monitor - connection. NOTE: Using this option may cause text mode to be - restored incorrectly, and thus should be used with caution. Default: - disabled. - - Option "DisplayInfo" "boolean" - It has been found that a certain BIOS call can lockup the Xserver - because of a problem in the Video BIOS. The log file will identify if - you are suffering from this problem and tell you to turn this option - off. Default: enabled - - Option "DevicePresence" "boolean" - Tell the driver to perform an active detect of the currently con‐ - nected monitors. This option is useful if the monitor was not con‐ - nected when the machine has booted, but unfortunately it doesn’t - always work and is extremely dependent upon the Video BIOS. Default: - disabled - - -Driver mga: ------------- - - Option "ColorKey" "integer" - Set the colormap index used for the transparency key for the depth 8 - plane when operating in 8+24 overlay mode. The value must be in the - range 2-255. Default: 255. - - Option "HWCursor" "boolean" - Enable or disable the HW cursor. Default: on. - - Option "MGASDRAM" "boolean" - Specify whether G100, G200 or G400 cards have SDRAM. The driver - attempts to auto-detect this based on the card’s PCI subsystem ID. - This option may be used to override that auto-detection. The mga - driver is not able to auto-detect the presence of of SDRAM on sec‐ - ondary heads in multihead configurations so this option will often - need to be specified in multihead configurations. Default: - auto-detected. - - Option "NoAccel" "boolean" - Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled. - - Option "NoHal" "boolean" - Disable or enable loading the "mga_hal" module. Default: the module - is loaded when available and when using hardware that it supports. - - Option "OverclockMem" - Set clocks to values used by some commercial X Servers (G100, G200 - and G400 only). Default: off. - - Option "Overlay" "value" - Enable 8+24 overlay mode. Only appropriate for depth 24. Recognized - values are: "8,24", "24,8". Default: off. (Note: the G100 is unac‐ - celerated in the 8+24 overlay mode due to a missing hardware fea‐ - ture.) - - Option "PciRetry" "boolean" - Enable or disable PCI retries. Default: off. - - Option "Rotate" "CW" - - Option "Rotate" "CCW" - Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise. This mode is unac‐ - celerated. Default: no rotation. - - Option "ShadowFB" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off. - - Option "SyncOnGreen" "boolean" - Enable or disable combining the sync signals with the green signal. - Default: off. - - Option "UseFBDev" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of on OS-specific fb interface (and is not sup‐ - ported on all OSs). See fbdevhw(4x) for further information. - Default: off. - - Option "VideoKey" "integer" - This sets the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. - Default: undefined. - - Option "TexturedVideo" "boolean" - This has XvImage support use the texture engine rather than the video - overlay. This option is only supported by G200 and later chips, and - only at 16 and 32 bits per pixel. Default: off. - - -Driver nv: ------------ -(source: man nv) - Option "HWCursor" "boolean" - Enable or disable the HW cursor. Default: on. - - Option "NoAccel" "boolean" - Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled. - - Option "UseFBDev" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of on OS-specific fb interface (and is not sup- - ported on all OSs). See fbdevhw(4x) for further information. - Default: off. - - Option "CrtcNumber" "integer" - GeForce2 MX, nForce2, Quadro4, GeForce4, Quadro FX and GeForce FX may - have two video outputs. The driver attempts to autodetect which one - the monitor is connected to. In the case that autodetection picks - the wrong one, this option may be used to force usage of a particular - output. The options are "0" or "1". Default: autodetected. - - Option "FlatPanel" "boolean" - The driver usually can autodetect the presence of a digital flat - panel. In the case that this fails, this option can be used to force - the driver to treat the attached device as a digital flat panel. - With this driver, a digital flat panel will only work if it was - POSTed by the BIOS, that is, the machine must have booted to the - panel. If you have a dual head card you may also need to set the - option CrtcNumber described above. Default: off. - - Option "FPDither" "boolean" - Many digital flat panels (particularly ones on laptops) have only 6 - bits per component color resolution. This option tells the driver to - dither from 8 bits per component to 6 before the flat panel truncates - it. This is only supported in depth 24 on GeForce2 MX, nForce2, - GeForce4, Quadro4, Geforce FX and Quadro FX. Default: off. - - Option "FPScale" "boolean" - Supported only on GeForce4, Quadro4, Geforce FX and Quadro FX. This - option tells to the driver to scale lower resolutions up to the flat - panel's native resolution. Default: on. - - Option "Rotate" "CW" - - Option "Rotate" "CCW" - Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise. This mode is unac- - celerated. Default: no rotation. - - Note: The Resize and Rotate extension will be disabled if the Rotate - option is used. - - Option "ShadowFB" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off. - - - -Driver nvidia.ko (binary driver): ----------------------------------- -(source: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7174/README.txt) - - Option "NvAGP" "integer" - Configure AGP support. Integer argument can be one of: - 0 : disable agp - 1 : use NVIDIA's internal AGP support, if possible - 2 : use AGPGART, if possible - 3 : use any agp support (try AGPGART, then NVIDIA's AGP) - Please note that NVIDIA's internal AGP support cannot - work if AGPGART is either statically compiled into your - kernel or is built as a module, but loaded into your - kernel (some distributions load AGPGART into the kernel - at boot up). Default: 3 (the default was 1 until after - 1.0-1251). - - Option "NoLogo" "boolean" - Disable drawing of the NVIDIA logo splash screen at - X startup. Default: the logo is drawn. - - Option "RenderAccel" "boolean" - Enable or disable hardware acceleration of the RENDER - extension. THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL. ENABLE IT AT YOUR - OWN RISK. There is no correctness test suite for the - RENDER extension so NVIDIA can not verify that RENDER - acceleration works correctly. Default: hardware - acceleration of the RENDER extension is disabled. - - Option "NoRenderExtension" "boolean" - Disable the RENDER extension. Other than recompiling - the X-server, XFree86 does not seem to have another way of - disabling this. Fortunatly, we can control this from the - driver so we export this option. This is useful in depth - 8 where RENDER would normally steal most of the default - colormap. Default: RENDER is offered when possible. - - Option "UBB" "boolean" - Enable or disable Unified Back Buffer on any Quadro - based GPUs (Quadro4 NVS excluded); please see - Appendix M for a description of UBB. This option has - no affect on non-Quadro chipsets. Default: UBB is on - for Quadro chipsets. - - Option "NoFlip" "boolean" - Disable OpenGL flipping; please see Appendix M for - a description. Default: OpenGL will swap by flipping - when possible. - - Option "DigitalVibrance" "integer" - Enables Digital Vibrance Control. The range of valid - values are 0 through 255. This feature is not available - on products older than GeForce2. Default: 0. - - Option "Dac8Bit" "boolean" - Most Quadro parts by default use a 10 bit color look - up table (LUT) by default; setting this option to TRUE forces - these graphics chips to use an 8 bit (LUT). Default: - a 10 bit LUT is used, when available. - - Option "Overlay" "boolean" - Enables RGB workstation overlay visuals. This is only - supported on Quadro4 and Quadro FX chips (Quadro4 NVS - excluded) in depth 24. This option causes the server to - advertise the SERVER_OVERLAY_VISUALS root window property - and GLX will report single and double buffered, Z-buffered - 16 bit overlay visuals. The transparency key is pixel - 0x0000 (hex). There is no gamma correction support in - the overlay plane. This feature requires XFree86 version - 4.1.0 or newer (or the Xorg X server). NV17/18 based - Quadros (ie. 500/550 XGL) have additional restrictions, - namely, overlays are not supported in TwinView mode - or with virtual desktops larger than 2046x2047 in any - dimension (eg. it will not work in 2048x1536 modes). - Quadro 7xx/9xx and Quadro FX will offer overlay visuals - in these modes (TwinView, or virtual desktops larger - than 2046x2047), but the overlay will be emulated with - a substantial performance penalty. RGB workstation - overlays are not supported when the Composite extension is - enabled. Default: off. - - Option "CIOverlay" "boolean" - Enables Color Index workstation overlay visuals with - identical restrictions to Option "Overlay" above. - The server will offer visuals both with and without a - transparency key. These are depth 8 PseudoColor visuals. - Enabling Color Index overlays on X servers older than - XFree86 4.3 will force the RENDER extension to be disabled - due to bugs in the RENDER extension in older X servers. - Color Index workstation overlays are not supported when the - Composite extension is enabled. Default: off. - - Option "TransparentIndex" "integer" - When color index overlays are enabled, use this option - to choose which pixel is used for the transparent pixel - in visuals featuring transparent pixels. This value - is clamped between 0 and 255 (Note: some applications - such as Alias's Maya require this to be zero - in order to work correctly). Default: 0. - - Option "OverlayDefaultVisual" "boolean" - When overlays are used, this option sets the default - visual to an overlay visual thereby putting the root - window in the overlay. This option is not recommended - for RGB overlays. Default: off. - - Option "RandRRotation" "boolean" - Enable rotation support for the XRandR extension. This - allows use of the XRandR X server extension for - configuring the screen orientation through rotation. - This feature is supported on GeForce2 or better hardware - using depth 24. This requires an XOrg 6.8.1 or newer - X server. This feature does not work with hardware overlays, - emulated overlays will be used instead at a substantial - performance penalty. See APPENDIX W for details. - Default: off. - - Option "SWCursor" "boolean" - Enable or disable software rendering of the X cursor. - Default: off. - - Option "HWCursor" "boolean" - Enable or disable hardware rendering of the X cursor. - Default: on. - - Option "CursorShadow" "boolean" Enable or disable use of a - shadow with the hardware accelerated cursor; this is a - black translucent replica of your cursor shape at a - given offset from the real cursor. This option is - only available on GeForce2 or better hardware (ie - everything but TNT/TNT2, GeForce 256, GeForce DDR and - Quadro). Default: no cursor shadow. - - Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "integer" - The alpha value to use for the cursor shadow; only - applicable if CursorShadow is enabled. This value must - be in the range [0, 255] -- 0 is completely transparent; - 255 is completely opaque. Default: 64. - - Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "integer" - The offset, in pixels, that the shadow image will be - shifted to the right from the real cursor image; only - applicable if CursorShadow is enabled. This value must - be in the range [0, 32]. Default: 4. - - Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "integer" - The offset, in pixels, that the shadow image will be - shifted down from the real cursor image; only applicable - if CursorShadow is enabled. This value must be in the - range [0, 32]. Default: 2. - - Option "ConnectedMonitor" "string" - Allows you to override what the NVIDIA kernel module - detects is connected to your video card. This may - be useful, for example, if you use a KVM (keyboard, - video, mouse) switch and you are switched away when - X is started. In such a situation, the NVIDIA kernel - module cannot detect what display devices are connected, - and the NVIDIA X driver assumes you have a single CRT. - - Valid values for this option are "CRT" (cathode ray - tube), "DFP" (digital flat panel), or "TV" (television); - if using TwinView, this option may be a comma-separated - list of display devices; e.g.: "CRT, CRT" or "CRT, DFP". - - NOTE: anything attached to a 15 pin VGA connector is - regarded by the driver as a CRT. "DFP" should only be - used to refer to flatpanels connected via a DVI port. - - Default: string is NULL. - - Option "UseEdidFreqs" "boolean" - This option causes the X server to use the HorizSync - and VertRefresh ranges given in a display device's EDID, - if any. EDID provided range information will override - the HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges specified in the - Monitor section. If a display device does not provide an - EDID, or the EDID does not specify an hsync or vrefresh - range, then the X server will default to the HorizSync - and VertRefresh ranges specified in the Monitor section. - - Option "IgnoreEDID" "boolean" - Disable probing of EDID (Extended Display Identification - Data) from your monitor. Requested modes are compared - against values gotten from your monitor EDIDs (if any) - during mode validation. Some monitors are known to lie - about their own capabilities. Ignoring the values that - the monitor gives may help get a certain mode validated. - On the other hand, this may be dangerous if you do not - know what you are doing. Default: Use EDIDs. - - Option "NoDDC" "boolean" - Synonym for "IgnoreEDID" - - Option "FlatPanelProperties" "string" - Requests particular properties of any connected flat - panels as a comma-separated list of property=value pairs. - Currently, the only two available properties are 'Scaling' - and 'Dithering'. The possible values for 'Scaling' are: - 'default' (the driver will use whatever scaling state - is current), 'native' (the driver will use the flat - panel's scaler, if it has one), 'scaled' (the driver - will use the NVIDIA scaler, if possible), 'centered' - (the driver will center the image, if possible), - and 'aspect-scaled' (the driver will scale with the - NVIDIA scaler, but keep the aspect ratio correct). - The possible values for 'Dithering' are: 'default' - (the driver will decide when to dither), 'enabled' (the - driver will always dither when possible), and 'disabled' - (the driver will never dither). If any property is not - specified, it's value shall be 'default'. An example - properties string might look like: - - "Scaling = centered, Dithering = enabled" - - Option "UseInt10Module" "boolean" - Enable use of the X Int10 module to soft-boot all - secondary cards, rather than POSTing the cards through - the NVIDIA kernel module. Default: off (POSTing is done - through the NVIDIA kernel module). - - Option "TwinView" "boolean" - Enable or disable TwinView. Please see APPENDIX I for - details. Default: TwinView is disabled. - - Option "TwinViewOrientation" "string" - Controls the relationship between the two display devices - when using TwinView. Takes one of the following values: - "RightOf" "LeftOf" "Above" "Below" "Clone". Please see - APPENDIX I for details. Default: string is NULL. - - Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "range(s)" - This option is like the HorizSync entry in the Monitor - section, but is for the second monitor when using - TwinView. Please see APPENDIX I for details. Default: - none. - - Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "range(s)" - This option is like the VertRefresh entry in the Monitor - section, but is for the second monitor when using - TwinView. Please see APPENDIX I for details. Default: - none. - - Option "MetaModes" "string" - This option describes the combination of modes to use - on each monitor when using TwinView. Please see APPENDIX - I for details. Default: string is NULL. - - Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "boolean" - When in TwinView, the NVIDIA X driver normally provides - a Xinerama extension that X clients (such as window - managers) can use to to discover the current TwinView - configuration. Some window mangers can get confused by - this information, so this option is provided to disable - this behavior. Default: TwinView Xinerama information - is provided. - - Option "TVStandard" "string" - Please see (app-j) APPENDIX J: CONFIGURING TV-OUT. - - Option "TVOutFormat" "string" - Please see (app-j) APPENDIX J: CONFIGURING TV-OUT. - - Option "TVOverScan" "Decimal value in the range 0.0 to 1.0" - Valid values are in the range 0.0 through 1.0; please see - (app-j) APPENDIX J: CONFIGURING TV-OUT. - - Option "Stereo" "integer" - Enable offering of quad-buffered stereo visuals on Quadro. - Integer indicates the type of stereo glasses being used: - - 1 - DDC glasses. The sync signal is sent to the glasses - via the DDC signal to the monitor. These usually - involve a passthrough cable between the monitor and - video card. - - 2 - "Blueline" glasses. These usually involve - a passthrough cable between the monitor and video - card. The glasses know which eye to display based - on the length of a blue line visible at the bottom - of the screen. When in this mode, the root window - dimensions are one pixel shorter in the Y dimension - than requested. This mode does not work with virtual - root window sizes larger than the visible root window - size (desktop panning). - - 3 - Onboard stereo support. This is usually only found - on professional cards. The glasses connect via a - DIN connector on the back of the video card. - - 4 - TwinView clone mode stereo (aka "passive" stereo). - On video cards that support TwinView, the left eye - is displayed on the first display, and the right - eye is displayed on the second display. This is - normally used in conjuction with special projectors - to produce 2 polarized images which are then viewed - with polarized glasses. To use this stereo mode, - you must also configure TwinView in clone mode with - the same resolution, panning offset, and panning - domains on each display. - - Stereo is only available on Quadro cards. Stereo - options 1, 2, and 3 (aka "active" stereo) may be used - with TwinView if all modes within each metamode have - identical timing values. Please see (app-l) APPENDIX - L: PROGRAMMING MODES for suggestions on making sure the - modes within your metamodes are identical. The identical - modeline requirement is not necessary for Stereo option 4 - ("passive" stereo). Currently, stereo operation may - be "quirky" on the original Quadro (NV10) chip and - left-right flipping may be erratic. We are trying - to resolve this issue for a future release. Default: - Stereo is not enabled. - - Stereo options 1, 2, and 3 (aka "active" stereo) are not - supported on Digital Flatpanels. - - Option "AllowDFPStereo" "boolean" - By default, the NVIDIA X driver performs a check which - disables active stereo (stereo options 1, 2, and 3) - if the X screen is driving a DFP. The "AllowDFPStereo" - option bypasses this check. - - Option "NoBandWidthTest" "boolean" - As part of mode validation, the X driver tests if a - given mode fits within the hardware's memory bandwidth - constraints. This option disables this test. Default: - the memory bandwidth test is performed. - - Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "string" - This option tells the NVIDIA kernel module to completely - ignore the indicated classes of display devices when - checking what display devices are connected. You may - specify a comma-separated list containing any of "CRT", - "DFP", and "TV". - - For example: - - Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV" - - will cause the NVIDIA driver to not attempt to detect - if any flatpanels or TVs are connected. - - This option is not normally necessary; however, some video - BIOSes contain incorrect information about what display - devices may be connected, or what i2c port should be - used for detection. These errors can cause long delays - in starting X. If you are experiencing such delays, you - may be able to avoid this by telling the NVIDIA driver to - ignore display devices which you know are not connected. - - NOTE: anything attached to a 15 pin VGA connector is - regarded by the driver as a CRT. "DFP" should only be - used to refer to flatpanels connected via a DVI port. - - Option "MultisampleCompatibility" "boolean" - Enable or disable the use of separate front and back - multisample buffers. This will consume more memory - but is necessary for correct output when rendering to - both the front and back buffers of a multisample or - FSAA drawable. This option is necessary for correct - operation of SoftImage XSI. Default: a singlemultisample - buffer is shared between the front and back buffers. - - Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" "boolean" - The NVIDIA X driver will abort X server initialization - if it detects that a GPU that requires an external power - connector does not have an external power connector - plugged in. This option can be used to bypass this test. - Default: the power connector test is performed. - - Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "boolean" - Forces XvMC to use the 3D engine for XvMCPutSurface - requests rather than the video overlay. Default: video - overlay is used when available. - - Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "boolean" - Enables GLX even when the Composite X extension is loaded. - ENABLE AT YOUR OWN RISK. OpenGL applications will not - display correctly in many circumstances with this setting - enabled. Default: GLX is disabled when Composite is - loaded. - - Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "boolean" - Forces the initialization of the X server with the exact - timings specified in the ModeLine. Default: For DVI - devices, the X server inilializes with the closest mode in - the EDID list. - - -Driver radeon: ---------------- -(source: manpage radeon) - - Option "SWcursor" "boolean" - Selects software cursor. The default is off. - - Option "NoAccel" "boolean" - Enables or disables all hardware acceleration. - The default is to enable hardware acceleration. - - Option "Dac6Bit" "boolean" - 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 com- - ponent are used. - The default is off. - - Option "VideoKey" "integer" - This overrides the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. - The default value is 0x1E. - - Option "UseFBDev" "boolean" - 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(4x) for further information. - The default is off. - - Option "AGPMode" "integer" - Set AGP data transfer rate. (used only when DRI is enabled) - 1 -- x1 (default) - 2 -- x2 - 4 -- x4 - others -- invalid - - Option "AGPFastWrite" "boolean" - Enable AGP fast write. - (used only when DRI is enabled) - The default is off. - - Option "BusType" "string" - 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. - PCI -- PCI bus - AGP -- AGP bus - PCIE -- PCI Express (falls back to PCI at present) - (used only when DRI is enabled) - The default is auto detect. - - Option "DDCMode" "boolean" - Force to use the modes queried from the connected monitor. - The default is off. - - Option "DisplayPriority" "string" - Used to prevent flickering or tearing problem caused by display - buffer underflow. - AUTO -- Driver calculated (default). - BIOS -- Remain unchanged from BIOS setting. - Use this if the calculation is not correct - for your card. - HIGH -- Force to the highest priority. - Use this if you have problem with above options. - This may affect performence slightly. - The default value is AUTO. - - Option "MonitorLayout" "string" - This option is used to overwrite the detected monitor types. This is - only required when driver makes a false detection. The possible mon- - itor types are: - NONE -- Not connected - CRT -- Analog CRT monitor - TMDS -- Desktop flat panel - LVDS -- Laptop flat panel - This option can be used in following format: - Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]" - For example, Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, TMDS" - - Primary/Secondary head for dual-head cards: - (when only one port is used, it will be treated as the primary - regardless) - Primary head: - DVI port on DVI+VGA cards - LCD output on laptops - Internal TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards - Secondary head: - VGA port on DVI+VGA cards - VGA port on laptops - External TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards - - The default value is undefined. - - Option "MergedFB" "boolean" - 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. - Merged framebuffer mode provides two linked viewports looking into a - single large shared framebuffer. The size of the framebuffer is - determined by the Virtual keyword defined on the Screen section of - your XF86Config file. It works just like regular virtual desktop - except you have two viewports looking into it instead of one. - For example, if you wanted a desktop composed of two 1024x768 view- - ports looking into a single desktop you would create a virtual desk- - top of 2048x768 (left/right) or 1024x1536 (above/below), e.g., - Virtual 2048 768 or Virtual 1024 1536 - 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. - The relation of the viewports in specified by the CRT2Position - Option. The options are Clone , LeftOf , RightOf , Above , and - 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). - The maximum framebuffer size that the 2D acceleration engine can han- - dle is 8192x8192. The maximum framebuffer size that the 3D engine - can handle is 2048x2048. - 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 UseF- - BDev option. - The default value is undefined. - - Option "CRT2HSync" "string" - Set the horizontal sync range for the secondary monitor. It is not - required if a DDC-capable monitor is connected. - For example, Option "CRT2HSync" "30.0-86.0" - The default value is undefined. - - Option "CRT2VRefresh" "string" - Set the vertical refresh range for the secondary monitor. It is not - required if a DDC-capable monitor is connected. - For example, Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50.0-120.0" - The default value is undefined. - - Option "CRT2Position" "string" - Set the relationship of CRT2 relative to CRT1. Valid options are: - Clone , LeftOf , RightOf , Above , and Below - For example, Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf" - The default value is Clone. - - Option "MetaModes" "string" - 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. - Note: Any mode you use in the MetaModes must be defined in the - 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 sec- - tion that is supported on each head. - Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480 - For example, Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768 800x600-1024x768 - 640x480-800x600 800x600" - The default value is undefined. - - Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "boolean" - Force hardware overlay to clone head. - The default value is off. - - Option "NoMergedXinerama" "boolean" - Since merged framebuffer mode does not use Xinerama, apps are not - able to intelligently place windows. Merged framebuffer mode pro- - vides its own pseudo-Xinerama. This allows Xinerama compliant appli- - cations 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 view- - ports, 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. - This option allows you turn off the driver provided pseudo-Xinerama - extension. - The default value is FALSE. - - Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" "boolean" - By default the pseudo-Xinerama provided by the driver makes the left- - most or bottom head Xinerama screen 0. Certain Xinerama-aware appli- - cations do special things with screen 0. To change that behavior, - use this option. - The default value is undefined. - - Option "MergedDPI" "string" - 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. - For example, Option "MergedDPI" "100 100" - The default value is undefined. - - Option "IgnoreEDID" "boolean" - Do not use EDID data for mode validation, but DDC is still used for - monitor detection. This is different from NoDDC option. - The default value is off. - - Option "PanelSize" "string" - 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 informa- - tion through the Modeline. - For example, Option "PanelSize" "1400x1050" - The default value is none. - - Option "PanelOff" "boolean" - Disable panel output. - The default value is off. - - Option "EnablePageFlip" "boolean" - Enable page flipping for 3D acceleration. This will increase perfor- - mance but not work correctly in some rare cases, hence the default is - off. - Note: Page flipping does not work well in certain configurations with - MergedFB. If you see rendering errors or other strange behavior, - disable page flipping. - - Option "ForceMinDotClock" "frequency" - Override minimum dot clock. Some Radeon BIOSes report a minimum dot - clock unsuitable (too high) for use with television sets even when - they actually can produce lower dot clocks. If this is the case you - can override the value here. Note that using this option may damage - your hardware. You have been warned. The frequency parameter may be - specified as a float value with standard suffixes like "k", "kHz", - "M", "MHz". - - Option "RenderAccel" "boolean" - Enables or disables hardware Render acceleration. This driver does - not support component alpha (subpixel) rendering. It is only sup- - ported on Radeon series up to and including 9200 (9500/9700 and newer - unsupported). The default is to enable Render acceleration. - - Option "SubPixelOrder" "string" - Force subpixel order to specified order. Subpixel order is used for - subpixel decimation on flat panels. - NONE -- No subpixel (CRT like displays) - RGB -- in horizontal RGB order (most flat panels) - BGR -- in horizontal BGR order (some flat panels) - - This option is intended to be used in following cases: - 1. The default subpixel order is incorrect for your panel. - 2. Enable subpixel decimation on analog panels. - 3. Adjust to one display type in dual-head clone mode setup. - 4. Get better performance with Render acceleration on digital panels - (use NONE setting). - The default is NONE for CRT, RGB for digital panels - - Option "DynamicClocks" "boolean" - Enable dynamic clock scaling. The on-chip clocks will scale dynami- - cally based on usage. This can help reduce heat and increase battery - life by reducing power usage. Some users report reduced 3D prefor- - mance with this enabled. The default is off. - - - -Driver sis: ------------- - - Option "NoAccel" "boolean" - Disable or enable 2D acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled. - - Option "HWCursor" "boolean" - Enable or disable the HW cursor. Default: HWCursor is on. - - Option "SWCursor" "boolean" - The opposite of HWCursor. Default: SWCursor is off. - - Option "Rotate" "CW" - Rotate the display clockwise. This mode is unaccelerated, and uses - the Shadow Frame Buffer layer. Using this option disables the Resize - and Rotate extension (RandR). Default: no rotation. - - Option "Rotate" "CCW" - Rotate the display counterclockwise. This mode is unaccelerated, and - uses the Shadow Frame Buffer layer. Using this option disables the - Resize and Rotate extension (RandR). Default: no rotation. - - Option "ShadowFB" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: - Shadow framebuffer is off. - - Option "CRT1Gamma" "boolean" - Enable or disable gamma correction. Default: Gamma correction is on. - - - -Driver vesa: -------------- -(source: man vesa) - - Option "ShadowFB" "boolean" - Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: on. - This option is recommended for performance reasons. - |
