5. Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section "Device"
|
|
|
|
|
Identifier "Rage 128"
|
|
|
|
|
Driver "r128"
|
|
|
|
|
EndSection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or let xorgconfig do this for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o VideoRam - in kilobytes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
