.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B glint
|
||
|
|
is an __xservername__ driver for 3Dlabs & Texas Instruments GLINT/Permedia based video
|
||
|
|
cards. The driver is rather fully accelerated, and provides support for the
|
||
|
|
following framebuffer depths: 8, 15 (may give bad results with FBDev support),
|
||
|
|
16, 24 (32 bpp recommended, 24 bpp has problems), 30, and an 8+24 overlay mode.
|
||
|
|
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B glint
|
||
|
|
driver supports 3Dlabs (GLINT MX, GLINT 500TX, GLINT 300SX, GLINT GAMMA,
|
||
|
|
GLINT DELTA, GLINT GAMMA2, Permedia, Permedia 2, Permedia 2v, Permedia 3, R3,
|
||
|
|
R4) and Texas Instruments (Permedia, Permedia 2) chips.
|
||
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
|
||
|
|
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
|
||
|
|
details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
|
||
|
|
driver.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the following
|
||
|
|
.B ChipSet
|
||
|
|
names may optionally be specified in the config file
|
||
|
|
.B \*qDevice\*q
|
||
|
|
section, and will override the auto-detection:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
"ti_pm2", "ti_pm", "r4", "pm3", "pm2v", "pm2", "pm", "300sx", "500tx", "mx",
|
||
|
|
"gamma", "gamma2", "delta"
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The driver will try to auto-detect the amount of video memory present for all
|
||
|
|
chips. If it's not detected correctly, the actual amount of video memory should
|
||
|
|
be specified with a
|
||
|
|
.B VideoRam
|
||
|
|
entry in the config file
|
||
|
|
.B \*qDevice\*q
|
||
|
|
section.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Additionally, you may need to specify the bus ID of your card with a
|
||
|
|
.B BusID
|
||
|
|
entry in the config file
|
||
|
|
.B \*qDevice\*q
|
||
|
|
section, especially with FBDev support.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The following driver
|
||
|
|
.B Options
|
||
|
|
are supported:
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qUseFlatPanel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Enable the FlatPanel feature on the Permedia3. Default: off.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qSWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Enable or disable the SW cursor. Default: off.
|
||
|
|
This option disables the
|
||
|
|
.B HWCursor
|
||
|
|
option and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qOverlay\*q"
|
||
|
|
Enable 8+24 overlay mode. Only appropriate for depth 24, 32 bpp.
|
||
|
|
.RB ( Note:
|
||
|
|
This hasn't been tested with FBDev support and probably won't work.)
|
||
|
|
Recognized values are: "8,24", "24,8". Default: off.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Enable or disable PCI retries.
|
||
|
|
.RB ( Note:
|
||
|
|
This doesn't work with Permedia2 based cards for Amigas.) Default: off.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
|
||
|
|
.RB ( Note:
|
||
|
|
This disables hardware acceleration.) Default: off.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qUseFBDev\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Enable or disable use of an OS-specific fb interface (which is not supported
|
||
|
|
on all OSs). See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) for further information.
|
||
|
|
Default: off.
|
||
|

|
.BI "Option \*qRGBbits\*q \*q" integer \*q

Each gun of the RGB triple can have either 8 or 10 bits. Default: 8
|
||
|
|
..
|

.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qBlockWrite\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
||
|
|
Enable or disable block writes for the various Permedia 2 chips. This improves
|
||
|
|
acceleration in general, but disables it for some special cases. Default: off.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI "Option \*qFireGL3000\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
