These specifications +for the most part are passed unmodified to cimarron. This document +only provides an overview of the customizations to the standard +configuration file definitions. + +The xorg configuration (xorg.conf) file usually exists in the system +configuration directory /etc/X11. The standard contents are documented +in the manual pages, and can typically be accessed using: +man XF86Config +The file is divided into "sections". The following information +illustrates the custom features added section by section. + + +1. Device section: + +The devices section specifies the graphics driver selection. Currently, +for the drivers that may be specified include: +Section "Device" + Identifier "DevId" + Driver "vesa" - or + Driver "fbdev" - or + Driver "amd" +... +EndSection + +The "vesa" and "fbdev" selections are documented by the manual pages +man fbdev - or +man vesa +The "amd" driver has many selections that can be used to operate +the interface configuration. These selections follow: + + +2. Hardware Accelerations: + +This set of options are standard to the xorg "xaa" accelerations. +The presents of the option disables the named functionality. +Note that many accelerations depend on combinations with others, +and so disabling one may have a more pervasive effect. + + Option "XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" + Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect" + Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillTrap" + Option "XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine" + Option "XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine" + Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect" + Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" + Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillTrap" + Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" + Option "XaaNoPixmapCache" + Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" + Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect" + Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill" + Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" + Option "XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine" + Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect" + Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap" + Option "XaaNoSolidHorVertLine" + Option "XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine" + +Certain hardware accelerations may be armed or disarmed by using: + + Option "HWcursor" (default) -or + Option "SWcursor" + + Option "Compression" (default) -or + Option "No Compression" + + +Additionally, all accelerations may be armed or disarmed using: + + Option "Accel" (default) -or + Option "No Accel" + +This option enables/disables all rendering accelerations, HW/SW cursor, +and display compression. Certain accelerations may not be armed, even +though they are inferred by the configuration, if video memory is in +short supply. + + +3. Modes section: + +The configuration file included with the driver delivery contains an +optional "modes" section. This section asserts all of the standard +graphics/video mode configuration data. This set of modes is a subset +of the mode data in the cimarron library. Because these modes are +included, they are passed to the cimarron driver for validation. Be +aware that cimarron will select modes using a filtering function that +uses a constrained distance search. The mode in cimarron's definitions +that is "closest" to a mode defined - either builtin or user supplied - +will normally be used by cimarron. + +This filtering effect can be factored out by specifying: + + Option "CustomMode" + +This has the effect of causing the mode validation to pass any mode +in the mode pool, and allowing the selection of the specified mode +during mode switch. Unfortunately, because the interface specification +is not complete enough to support video modes. Only video modes that +exist in cimarron are possible when selecting a TVOUT mode. + + +4. More "Device" section Options: + +Since flat panels have fixed timing - that is, only one "real" mode - +the mode switch operation that normally might select a wide variety +of operational states must "adjust" the mode selection to fit the +fixed panel timing. To communicate that the mode selection is for +a flat panel, use: + Option "FlatPanel" +Note that the code expects that the flat panel will have been already +selected by the BIOS setup. Conflicts produce configuration errors. +The size adjustment usually involves scaling the source buffer +dimensions to the raster image size supported by the flat-panel. The +hardware supports this scaling operation transparently, and normally +no special considerations are needed. The hardware scaling is limited +to modes with horizontal aspects of less than 1024 pixels (buffer size +limitation for scaling/filtering). + +The display may be "rotated" in three ways, ClockWise, Upside-Down and +CounterClocwise using: + Option "Rotate" "CW" + Option "Rotate" "Invert" + Option "Rotate" "CCW" +This is accomplished using a "shadow" frame buffer, and using either +a hardware or software operation to transform the image to the +operational display buffer. + +Even though there is not strategic advantage, if you wish to use a +shadow frame buffer and display the unrotated image - this is specified +by using: + + Option "ShadowFB" + + +5. TVOUT video modes. + +In order to enable TVOUT mode selection, a TV known encoder +must be selected in the following way: + Option "TV_Encoder" "ADV7171" -or + Option "TV_Encoder" "SAA7127" -or + Option "TV_Encoder" "FS454" -or + Option "TV_Encoder" "ADV7300" +There is no default for the encoder. This selection is mandatory +to enable TVOUT modes. + +Most encoders support a variety of bus formats. Similarly, the +amd driver can select the bus data format from the following list: + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "disabled" - VOP output is disabled + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip1_1" - VIP 1.1 + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "ccir656" - CCIR 656 output + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip20_8bit" - 8-bit VIP 2.0 output + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "vip20_16bit" - 16-bit VIP 2.0 output + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_8bit" - 601 output, 8-bit YUV 4:2:2 + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_16bit" - 601 output, 16-bit YUV 4:2:2 + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_rgb_8_8_8" - 601 output, 24-bit RGB + Option "TV_Bus_Fmt" "601_yuv_4_4_4" - 601 output, YUV 4:4:4 +Note that the "601" modes may need sync signals for correct operation. +See the 601 flags below to operate these selections. + +Colorspace conversion requires a projective transformation to +perform downsampling for the implied transformation. The sampling +method may be specified by selecting from: + Option "TV_Conversion" "cosited" + Option "TV_Conversion" "interspersed" + Option "TV_Conversion" "alternating" + +The TV standard selected normally specifies a known frame buffer/ +TV mode geometry. However, it is quite common that TV output +devices may expect a blanked "overscan" area. The dx,dy marginal +widths for the overscan area can be specified using: + Option "TV_Overscan" "40:30" +Note that the TV standard geometry will be scaled (and filtered) to +downscale the source buffer to destination raster image. + +TVOUT operation may be conditioned with the following set of flags. +Some of these flags are not especially usable except to the kernel, +but are included for completeness. + +These "TV_Flags" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma +separated list from the following identifier set: + singlechipcompat - Enables SCx2xx compatibility mode.. + extendedsav - Enables extended SAV/EAV codes. + vbi - Use the task bit to indicate VBI data. + task - Set Task Bit to 1in VIP 2.0 mode. Default is 0. + swap_uv - Swap the U and V data prior to output. + swap_vbi - Swap the VBI bytes prior to output. +for example: + Option "TV_Flags" "swap_uv" -or + Option "TV_Flags" "extendedsav:swap_uv" + +These "TV_601_Flags" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma +separated list from the following identifier set: + inv_de_pol - Invert the polarity of display enable + inv_hs_pol - Invert the polarity of hsync + inv_vs_pol - Invert the polarity of vsync + vsync-4 - The VSync occurs 4 clocks earlier + vsync-2 - The VSync occurs 2 clocks earlier + vsync+0 - The VSync is not shifted at all + vsync+2 - The Vsync occurs 2 clocks later +for example: + Option "TV_601_Flags" "inv_vs_pol" + +These "TV_Vsync_Select" identifiers are specified in a quoted comma +separated list from the following identifier set: + disabled - VSync out disabled + vg - The VSync signal from the VG (video generator) + vg_inv - The VSync signal from the VG (inverted) + statreg17 - 1 written to VIP status bit 17 toggles vsync (0-1-0) + statreg17_inv - 1 written to VIP status bit 17 toggles vsync (1-0-1) +for example: + Option "TV_Vsync_Select" "disabled" + + +6. Screen section: + +The screen section selects among the other various sections for +sets of operational parameters and constraints. A typical +"Screen" section has the form: + +Section "Screen" + Identifier "ScreenId" + Device "Geode" + Monitor "MonitorId" + DefaultDepth 24 + + SubSection "Display" + Depth 24 + FbBpp 32 + Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "tv-ntsc" "tv-pal" + EndSubsection +... + +EndSection + +In this example, the "Modes" selection of the display subsection specifies a +list of available modes. These modes are selectable using "Ctl-Alt-KpPlus" or +"Ctl-Alt-KpMinus" on most PC keyboards. It is also possible to select a mode +using the xrandr utility, as well as using the X library API. + +The DefaultDepth may be 24, 16 or 8. If the depth is 24, then the "FbBpp" line +is needed to specify the frame buffer format as 32 bits (hardware limitation). +If a custom mode is specified, care should be taken to be sure it does not +collide with a "builtin" mode, since the builtin mode will supersede. + +For a more complete functional description, review that the cimarron +reference and Geode LX processor functional specifications. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +RELEASE HISTORY +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 04.00.0000 +April 30, 2006 + +Dependencies +------------ +This release depends on and includes the following subcomponents: + +Linux Build Tool - Base GeodeLinux Build System - Version 00.00.0015 +Linux Build Tool - AMD Embedded - Version 00.00.0016 +Linux Build Tool - Bitbake engine - Version 00.00.0010 +Linux Build Tool - Openembedded - Version 00.00.0006 + +Functional Changes +------------------ +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Change: 77478 +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Archive 2.6.11 kernel and kernel modules. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Change: 78502 +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Tinderbox script name and version must match .bb + +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Change: 78443 +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Changes to xorg_7.0 BOM did not take the first time. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Change: 78552 +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Rename norwich and norwich-2.6.11 machines to geodelx and geodelx-2.6.11. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Change: 78556 +_____________________________________________________________________________ +Move geodelx machine to X11R7.0.
