Configuration Details
Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.The following driver Options are supported:
- Option SWCursor boolean
- Enable or disable the SW cursor. Default: off.
- Option NoAccel boolean
- Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
- Option PciRetry boolean
- Enable or disable PCI retries. Default: off.
- Option CyberShadow boolean
- For Cyber chipsets only, turn off shadow registers. If you only see a partial display - this may be the option for you. Default: on.
- Option CyberStretch boolean
- For Cyber chipsets only, turn on stretching. When the resolution is lower than the LCD's screen, this option will stretch the graphics mode to fill the entire LCD. Default: off.
- Option ShadowFB boolean
- Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off.
- Option VideoKey integer
- This sets the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. Default: undefined.
- Option TVChipset string
- This sets the TV chipset. Options are CH7005 or VT1621. Default: off.
- Option TVSignal integer
- This sets the TV signalling. Options are 0 for NTSC or 1 for PAL. Default: undefined.
- Option NoPciBurst boolean
- Turn off PCI burst mode, PCI Bursting is on by default. Default: off.
- Option XvHsync integer
- Override the default Horizontal-sync value for the Xv extension. This is used to center the Xv image on the screen. By default the values are assigned based on the video card. Default: 0.
- Option XvVsync integer
- Override the default Vertical-sync value for the Xv extension. This is used to center the Xv image on the screen. By default the values are assigned based on the video card. Default: 0.
- Option XvBskew integer
- Override the default Bottom skew value for the Xv extension. This is used to extend the Xv image on the screen at the bottom. By default the values are assigned based on the video card. Default: 0.
- Option XvRskew integer
- Override the default Right skew value for the Xv extension. This is used to extend the Xv image on the screen at the right. By default the values are assigned based on the video card. Default: 0.
- Option Display string
- Override the display. Possible values are CRT, LCD and Dual. Please note that this option is only experimentally. Default: Use display active when X started.
- Option Display1400 boolean
- Inform driver to expect 1400x1050 display instead of a 1280x1024. Default: off.
- Option GammaBrightness string
- Set display gamma value and brightness. string is gamma, brightness, where gamma is a floating point value greater than 0 and less or equal to 10. brightness is an integer value greater or equal to 0 and less than 128. Default: gamma and brightness control is turned off. Note: This is not supported on all chipsets. Option AccelMethod string Choose acceleration architecture, either "XAA" or "EXA". XAA is the old (but stable) XFree86 based acceleration architecture. EXA is a newer and simpler acceleration architecture designed to better accelerate the X Render extension. Default: "XAA".
