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

       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 "NoLinear" "boolean"
		  Disable or enable use of linear frame buffer. Default: on.  Note: it may or may not work. Tell me if you need it.

	   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.
