VESA(4)                                                      Kernel Interfaces Manual                                                      VESA(4)

NAME

       vesa - Generic VESA video driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "Device"
         Identifier "devname"
         Driver "vesa"
         ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       vesa  is an Xorg driver for generic VESA video cards.  It can drive most VESA-compatible video cards, but only makes use of the basic stan-
       dard VESA core that is common to these cards.  The driver supports depths 8, 15 16 and 24.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The vesa driver supports most VESA-compatible video cards.  There are some known exceptions, and those should be listed here.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.  This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The driver auto-detects the presence of VESA-compatible hardware.  The ChipSet name may optionally be specified in the config file "Device"
       section, and will override the auto-detection:

           "vesa"

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: on.

              This option is recommended for performance reasons.

       Option "ModeSetClearScreen" "boolean"
              Clear the screen on mode set. Some BIOSes seem to be broken in the sense that the newly set video mode is bogus if they are asked to
              clear the screen during mode setting. If you experience problems try to turn this option off. Default: on.

NAME

       i128 - Number 9 I128 Xorg video driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "Device"
	 Identifier "devname"
	 Driver "i128"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       i128  is  an  Xorg  driver for Number 9 I128 video cards.  The driver is accelerated and provides support for all versions of the I128 chip
       family, including the SGI flatpanel configuration.  Multi-head configurations are supported.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The i128 driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the following I128 chips:

       I128 rev 1  (original)

       I128-II

       I128-T2R    Ticket 2 Ride

       I128-T2R4   Ticket 2 Ride IV

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.	This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The driver auto-detects the chipset type and may not be overridden.

       The driver auto-detects the amount of video memory present for all chips and may not be overridden.

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "HWCursor" "boolean"
	      Enable or disable the HW cursor.	Default: on.

       Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
	      Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.

       Option "SyncOnGreen" "boolean"
	      Enable or disable combining the sync signals with the green signal.  Default: off.

       Option "Dac6Bit" "boolean"
	      Reduce DAC operations to 6 bits.	Default: false.

       Option "Debug" "boolean"
	      This turns on verbose debug information from the driver.	Default: off.
