.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B sisusb
|
|
is an __myservername__ driver for SiS (Silicon Integrated Systems) video chips that
|
|
are connected via a Net2280-based USB dongle. The driver is not accelerated, but
|
|
provides support for colordepths of 8, 16 and 24 bpp as well as Render and other
|
|
extensions.
|
|
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.B sisusb
|
|
driver supports USB video cards based on the following chipsets:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B SiS315E/PRO
|
|
.PP
|
|
The SiS315E/PRO features two CRT controllers. However, in its USB version, only
|
|
the first output, referred to as "CRT1", is being used.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
|
|
Please refer to __myxconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
|
|
details and to sis(__drivermansuffix__) for more information. This manpage only
|
|
covers a subset of the supported options.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Detailed information on all supported options can be obtained at
|
|
http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisusbvga.shtml
|
|
.PP
|
|
Please note that this driver requires a Linux kernel driver as well which is
|
|
included in Linux 2.6.12 and later, as well as available at the aforementioned
|
|
website.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following driver
|
|
.B Options
|
|
are supported:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "Option \*qHWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
|
Enable or disable the hardware cursor. It is not recommended to disable
|
|
the hardware cursor as this will increase the amount of data transferred
|
|
over the USB. Default: HWCursor is on.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "Option \*qSWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
|
The opposite of HWCursor. This enables or disables the software
|
|
cursor. This sort of cursor is slower because the pointer must
|
|
be painted into the graphics display. This increases the amount of data
|
|
transferred over the USB significantly. Default: SWCursor is off.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "Option \*qCRT1Gamma\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|
|
Enable or disable gamma correction.
|
|
Default: Gamma correction is on.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "Option \*qDisconnectTimeout\*q \*q" integer \*q
|
|
This option determines how the driver will react to a disconnection of the
|
|
USB device. If the integer supplied is -1, the driver will abort the X server
|
|
immediately upon disconnection. If the value given is 0, the driver will
|
|
probe for a re-connection every 2 seconds and in case the device is detected,
|
|
re-establish the display. If the value is greater than 0, the driver will do
|
|
this re-probing within the given number of seconds and abort the server if
|
|
it does not detect the device within this time-out. Default: 0 (probe forever
|
|
for device reconnection).
|
|
