<sect>Configuration
|
|
<p>
|
|
The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to
|
|
initialize the card. The only lines you need in the "Device"
|
|
section of your xorg.conf file are:
|
|
<verb>
|
|
Section "Device"
|
|
Identifier "Rage 128"
|
|
Driver "r128"
|
|
EndSection
|
|
</verb>
|
|
or let <tt>xorgconfig</tt> do this for you.
|
|
|
|
However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
|
|
<itemize>
|
|
<item>VideoRam - in kilobytes
|
|
<item>MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
|
|
<item>IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
|
|
<item>ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
|
|
</itemize>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<sect>Driver Options
|
|
<p>
|
|
<itemize>
|
|
<item>"hw_cursor" - request hardware cursor (default)
|
|
<item>"sw_cursor" - software cursor only
|
|
<item>"no_accel" - software rendering only
|
|
<item>"dac_8_bit" - use color weight 888 in 8 bpp mode (default)
|
|
<item>"dac_6_bit" - use color weight 666 in 8 bpp mode (VGA emulation)
