NAME

       apm - Alliance ProMotion video driver

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       apm  is	an Xorg driver for Alliance ProMotion video cards. The driver is accelerated for supported hardware/depth combination. It supports
       framebuffer depths of 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits. For 6420, 6422, AT24, AT3D and AT25, all depths are fully accelerated except  24  bpp  for
       which only screen to screen copy and rectangle filling is accelerated.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The apm driver supports PCI and ISA video cards on the following Alliance ProMotion chipsets

       ProMotion 6420

       ProMotion 6422

       AT24

       AT3D

       AT25

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, but the following ChipSet names may optionally be specified in the config file "Device" section,
       and will override the auto-detection:

	   "6422", "at24", "at3d".

	   The AT25 is Chipset "at3d" and the 6420 is 6422.

	   The driver will auto-detect the amount of video memory present for all chips. The actual amount of video memory can also  be  specified
	   with a VideoRam entry in the config file "Device" section.

	   The following driver Options are supported:

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

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

	   Option "PciRetry" "boolean"
		  Enable or disable PCI retries.  Default: off.

	   Option "Remap_DPMS_On" "string"

	   Option "Remap_DPMS_Standby" "string"

	   Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "string"

	   Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "string"
		  Remaps the corresponding DPMS events. I've found that my Hercules 128/3D swaps Off and Suspend events. You can correct that with
			 Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "Off"
			 Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "Suspend"
		  in the Device section of the config file.

		  Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
			 Force the software cursor.  Default: off.

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

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.
