[1m1. Introduction[0m
|
||
|
||
This document provides a brief summary of the i810/i815 support
|
||
provided by the i810 driver. Support for later chipsets is not
|
||
covered here. More up to date information about the i810 driver can
|
||
be found in the i810(4) manual page.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m2. Supported Hardware[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o Intel 810 motherboards:
|
||
|
||
+o i810,
|
||
|
||
+o i810-dc100,
|
||
|
||
+o i810e
|
||
|
||
+o i815
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m3. Features[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o Full support for 8, 15, 16, and 24 bit pixel depths.
|
||
|
||
+o Hardware cursor support to reduce sprite flicker.
|
||
|
||
+o Hardware accelerated 2D drawing engine support for 8, 15, 16 and 24
|
||
bit pixel depths.
|
||
|
||
+o Support for high resolution video modes up to 1600x1200.
|
||
|
||
+o Fully programmable clock supported.
|
||
|
||
+o Robust text mode restore for VT switching.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m4. Technical Notes[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o Hardware acceleration is not possible when using the framebuffer in
|
||
32 bit per pixel format, and this mode is not supported by this
|
||
driver.
|
||
|
||
+o Interlace modes cannot be supported.
|
||
|
||
+o This driver currently only works for Linux/ix86 and recent versions
|
||
of FreeBSD. It requires the agpgart kernel support, which is
|
||
included in Linux kernels 2.3.42 and higher, and FreeBSD 4.1 and
|
||
higher.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m5. Reported Working Video Cards[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o Intel evaluation hardware - i810, i810-dc100, i810e and i815.
|
||
|
||
+o Tyan Tomcat Motherboard.
|
||
|
||
+o HappyPC set-top box.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m6. Configuration[0m
|
||
|
||
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 "Intel i810"
|
||
Driver "i810"
|
||
EndSection
|
||
|
||
|
||
or let xorgconfig do this for you.
|
||
|
||
However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
|
||
|
||
+o DacSpeed - in MHz
|
||
|
||
+o MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
|
||
|
||
+o IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
|
||
|
||
In order to use most resolutions, it is necessary to install the (see
|
||
the notes in the module).
|
||
|
||
Note: the i810 driver detects whether your motherboard has display
|
||
cache video memory. This memory is has reduced bandwidth compared to
|
||
normal system memory, and isn't used by the server. The main function
|
||
of this memory is for ancillary buffers (eg. z buffer) in a
|
||
forthcoming 3d capable server.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m7. Driver Options[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o "NoAccel" - Turn off hardware acceleration
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o "SWCursor" - Request a software cursor (hardware is default)
|
||
|
||
+o "Dac6Bit" - Force the use of a 6 Bit Dac (8 Bit is the default)
|
||
|
||
|
||
[1m8. Known Limitations[0m
|
||
|
||
|
||
+o No 3D support in this release.
|
||
|
||
+o Running two X servers on different VTs is not supported at this
|
||
time.
