+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B glint 
+is an XFree86 driver for 3Dlabs & Texas Instruments GLINT/Permedia based video
+cards. The driver is rather fully accelerated, and provides support for the
+following framebuffer depths: 8, 15 (may give bad results with FBDev support),
+16, 24 (32 bpp recommended, 24 bpp has problems), 30, and an 8+24 overlay mode.
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+The
+.B glint
+driver supports 3Dlabs (GLINT MX, GLINT 500TX, GLINT 300SX, GLINT GAMMA, 
+GLINT DELTA, GLINT GAMMA2, Permedia, Permedia 2, Permedia 2v, Permedia 3, R3, 
+R4) and Texas Instruments (Permedia, Permedia 2) chips.
+.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
+Please refer to XF86Config(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
+details.  This section only covers configuration details specific to this
+driver.
+.PP
+The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the following
+.B ChipSet
+names may optionally be specified in the config file
+.B \*qDevice\*q
+section, and will override the auto-detection:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+"ti_pm2", "ti_pm", "r4", "pm3", "pm2v", "pm2", "pm", "300sx", "500tx", "mx", 
+"gamma", "gamma2", "delta"
+.RE
+.PP
+The driver will try to auto-detect the amount of video memory present for all
+chips.  If it's not detected correctly, the actual amount of video memory should
+be specified with a
+.B VideoRam
+entry in the config file
+.B \*qDevice\*q
+section.
+.PP
+Additionally, you may need to specify the bus ID of your card with a
+.B BusID
+entry in the config file
+.B \*qDevice\*q
+section, especially with FBDev support.
+.PP
+The following driver
+.B Options
+are supported:
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qUseFlatPanel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable the FlatPanel feature on the Permedia3.  Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qSWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable the SW cursor.  Default: off.
+This option disables the
+.B HWCursor
+option and vice versa.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qOverlay\*q"
+Enable 8+24 overlay mode.  Only appropriate for depth 24, 32 bpp.
+.RB ( Note:
+This hasn't been tested with FBDev support and probably won't work.) 
+Recognized values are: "8,24", "24,8". Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qPciRetry\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable PCI retries.
+.RB ( Note:
+This doesn't work with Permedia2 based cards for Amigas.)  Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
+.RB ( Note:
+This disables hardware acceleration.)  Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qUseFBDev\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable use of an OS-specific fb interface (which is not supported
+on all OSs).  See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) for further information.
+Default: off.
+.ig
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qRGBbits\*q \*q" integer \*q
+Each gun of the RGB triple can have either 8 or 10 bits.  Default: 8
+..
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qBlockWrite\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable or disable block writes for the various Permedia 2 chips. This improves
+acceleration in general, but disables it for some special cases.  Default: off.
+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qFireGL3000\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+If you have a card of the same name, turn this on.  Default: off.
