This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver. .PP The following driver .B Options are supported .TP .BI "Option \*qDebug\*q \*q" boolean \*q Enable debug logging. .IP Default: Debug logging is Disabled .TP .BI "Option \*qNoFlip\*q \*q" boolean \*q Disable buffer flipping. .IP Default: Flipping is Enabled .TP .BI "Option \*qDriverName\*q \*q" string \*q The name of the drm driver to use. .IP Default: NULL .TP .BI "Option \*qBusID\*q \*q" string \*q The Bus ID of the drm device to use. .IP Default: NULL .TP .BI "Option \*qDRICard\*q \*q" integer \*q Select which dri card to use. .IP Default: 0 .TP .BI "Option \*qInitFromFBDev\*q \*q" string \*q Specifies an fbdev device node (such as "/dev/fb0") to use to initialize the DRM scanout buffer. Specifying this option only makes sense (and is required) when X is started with the parameter "-background none". The InitFromFBDev functionality is limited to when the fbdev device pixel format matches the format of the X screen. This includes bits-per-pixel and RGB ordering and size. If the driver is unable to copy from the fbdev device then an error will be logged, and the -background none functionality will be disabled. .IP Default: NULL .TP .BI "Option \*qUMP_LOCK\*q \*q" boolean \*q Use the umplock module for cross-process access synchronization. It should be only enabled for Mali400 .IP Default: Umplock is Disabled .SH DRM DEVICE SELECTION Either the DRM driver name or bus ID can be specified using e.g. .nf .B "Section \*qDevice\*q" .BI " Driver \*qarmsoc\*q" .BI " Option \*qDriverName\*q \*qpl111_drm\*q" .B "EndSection" or .B "Section \*qDevice\*q" .BI " Driver \*qarmsoc\*q" .BI " Option \*qBusID\*q \*qplatform:pl111_drm:00\*q" .B "EndSection" If neither of these are set then /dev/dri/card0 is used. In this case the card number can be set using the \*qDRICard\*q option. .B "Section \*qDevice\*q" .BI " Driver \*qarmsoc\*q" .BI " Option \*qDRICard\*q \*q1\*q" .B "EndSection" .SH OUTPUT CONFIGURATION The driver supports runtime configuration of detected outputs. You can use the .B xrandr tool to control outputs on the command line as follows: .RS .B xrandr \-\-output .I output .B \-\-set .I property value .RE Note that you may need to quote property and value arguments that contain spaces. Each output listed below may have one or more properties associated with it (like a binary EDID block if one is found). Some outputs have unique properties which are described below. See the "MULTIHEAD CONFIGURATIONS" section below for additional information. TODO .PP See __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for information on associating Monitor sections with these outputs for configuration. Associating Monitor sections with each output can be helpful if you need to ignore a specific output, for example, or statically configure an extended desktop monitor layout. .SH MULTIHEAD CONFIGURATIONS The number of independent outputs is dictated by the number of CRTCs (in X parlance) a given chip supports. The actual number of displays supported will depend on the board. But a built-in LCD and external HDMI are a common configuration. You can use the "xrandr" tool, or various desktop utilities, to change your output configuration at runtime. To statically configure your outputs, you can use the "Monitor-" options along with additional monitor sections in your xorg.conf to create your screen topology. The example below puts the VGA output to the right of the builtin laptop screen, both running at 1024x768. .nf .B "Section \*qMonitor\*q" .BI " Identifier \*qLaptop FooBar Internal Display\*q" .BI " Option \*qPosition\*q \*q0 0\*q" .B "EndSection" .B "Section \*qMonitor\*q" .BI " Identifier \*qSome Random CRT\*q" .BI " Option \*qPosition\*q \*q1024 0\*q" .BI " Option \*qRightOf\*q \*qLaptop FoodBar Internal Display\*q" .B "EndSection" .B "Section \*qDevice\*q" .BI " Driver \*qarmsoc\*q" .BI " Option \*qmonitor-LVDS\*q \*qLaptop FooBar Internal Display\*q" .BI " Option \*qmonitor-VGA\*q \*qSome Random CRT\*q" .B "EndSection" .SH "SEE ALSO" __xservername__(__appmansuffix__), __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__), Xserver(__appmansuffix__), X(__miscmansuffix__) .SH AUTHORS Authors include: Ian Elliott, Rob Clark.
