It contains +full support for 8, 15, 16 and 24 bit pixel depths, hardware +acceleration of drawing primitives, hardware cursor, video modes up to +1800x1440 @ 70Hz, doublescan modes (e.g., 320x200 and 320x240), gamma +correction at all pixel depths, a fully programming dot clock and robust +text mode restoration for VT switching. +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B r128 +driver supports all ATI Rage 128 based video cards including the Rage +Fury AGP 32MB, the XPERT 128 AGP 16MB and the XPERT 99 AGP 8MB. +.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 all device information necessary to initialize +the card. However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can +specify: +.PP +.RS 4 +VideoRam - in kilobytes +.br +MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer +.br +IOBase - physical address of the MMIO registers +.br +ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID +.RE +.PP +In addition, the following driver +.B Options +are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qSWcursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Selects software cursor. The default is +.B off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enables or disables all hardware acceleration. The default is to +.B enable +hardware acceleration. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qDac6Bit\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enables or disables the use of 6 bits per color component when in 8 bpp +mode (emulates VGA mode). By default, all 8 bits per color component +are used. The default is +.B off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qVideoKey\*q \*q" integer \*q +This overrides the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key. +The default value is +.B undefined. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qDisplay\*q \*q" string \*q +Select display mode for devices which support flat panels. Supported modes are: + +.B \*qFP\*q +- use flat panel; + +.B \*qCRT\*q +- use cathode ray tube; + +.B \*qMirror\*q +- use both FP and CRT; + +.B \*qBIOS\*q +- use mode as configured in the BIOS. + +The default is +.B FP. + +.PP +The following +.B Options +are mostly important for non-x86 architectures: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qProgramFPRegs\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable programming of the flat panel registers. +Beware that this may damage your panel, so use this +.B at your own risk. +The default depends on the device. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qPanelWidth\*q \*q" integer \*q +.TP +.BI "Option \*qPanelHeight\*q \*q" integer \*q +Override the flat panel dimensions in pixels. They are used to program the flat panel +registers and normally determined using the video card BIOS. If the wrong dimensions +are used, the system may hang. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qUseFBDev\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable use of an OS-specific framebuffer device interface +(which is not supported on all OSs). See fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) +for further information. +Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qDMAForXv\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Try or don't try to use DMA for Xv image transfers. This will reduce CPU +usage when playing big videos like DVDs, but may cause instabilities. +Default: off. + +.PP +The following additional +.B Options +are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qShowCache\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable viewing offscreen cache memory.
