The +driver provides full accelerated support for the following colour +depths: 8, 15, 16 and 24. The overlay video (Xv) is supported in +depths 16 and 24 for the Trio64V+, Trio64UV+, Trio64V2/DX and +Trio64V2/GX chips. + +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general +configuration details. This section only covers configuration details +specific to this driver. All options names are case and white space +insensitive when parsed by the server, for example, "trio 32/64" and +"Trio32/64" are equivalent. + +.SS +Chip overriding +.PP +The driver auto-detects the chipset and RAMDAC, but the following +\fBChipset\fP names may optionally be specified in the configuration +file \fB\*qDevice\*q\fP section, and will override the auto-detection: + +.PP +.RS 4 +.TP 18 +"964-0", "964-1" +86C964 (rev.0 and rev.1) +.TP 18 +"968" +86C968 +.TP 18 +"Trio32/64" +86C732/86C764 +.TP 18 +"Aurora64V+" +86CM65 +.TP 18 +"Trio64UV+" +86C767 +.TP 18 +"Trio64V2/DX/GX" +86C775/86C785 +.RE + +.PP +The 86C765 (Trio64V+) is \fBChipset\fP "Trio32/64" with \fBChipRev\fP +greater or equal 0x40. + +An overriding of RAMDAC auto-detection currently is not implemented. + +.SS +Colour depth +.PP +For every supported colour depth the X server automatically selects an +appropriate number of bits per pixel (bpp) for framebuffer. The depth +8 is represented by 8 bpp framebuffer (1 byte/pixel), the depths 15 +and 16 (respectively 5.5.5 and 5.6.5 pixel formats) are represented by +the 16 bpp framebuffer (2 bytes/pixel). Whenever the depth 24 is +configured, the X server by default uses the 32 bpp framebuffer (4 +bytes/pixel), and the hardware is adjusted accordingly to the X.8.8.8 +pixel format, where X is the ignored upper byte. + +.PP +As the second option for the depth 24, the X server can be configured +to use 24 bpp framebuffer with the 8.8.8 pixel format (3 bytes/pixel), +which is supported by Trio64V+, Trio64UV+, Trio64V2/DX and +Trio64V2/GX. If the video board has limited video RAM the 24 bpp +framebuffer has an advantage over 32 bpp framebuffer as it requires +less memory to store screen, and, therefore, more space will be +available for a video frame (see "Overlay video" section). The 24 bpp +framebuffer can be selected by X server's option \fB-fbbpp 24\fP or by +specifying \fBDefaultFbBpp\fP option in +__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__): + +.RS 4 +.B Section \*qScreen\*q +.RS 2 +.B DefaultFbBpp 24 +.br +.B DefaultDepth 24 +.br +.B ... +.RE +.B EndSection +.RE + +.PP +However, the 24 bpp framebuffer mode has the hardware limitations: (i) +the 2D acceleration doesn't work with this mode (use the +\fB\*qshadowFB\*q\fP option to speed up drawing routines in this +case); (ii) 24 bpp framebuffer cannot be used with either interlaced +or doublescan graphics modes. + +.SS +Overlay video +.PP +If your video board has limited RAM it would be useful to estimate how +large video frame might be placed in offscreen video memory. Suppose +that the video board has 2 MB of RAM, and X server is configured to +display 800x600 with the depth 24. By default the 32 bpp framebuffer +will be chosen for this depth, so 800 x 600 x 4 = 1875 kB will be +reserved for screen, and 2 MB - 1875 kB = 173 kB will remain for the +offscreen area. This is sufficient space, for example, for the VCD +NTSC 352x240 frame. If you need to upscale video with a bigger frame, +but it doesn't fit the offscreen area, the only way to do this is to +lower either the resolution or framebuffer's depth or both before the +viewing, otherwise, you will get the allocation error and will not see +the video. For example, with 24 bpp framebuffer and the same +resolution 800x600 the offscreen area will be about 640 kB - it's +enough for the 640x480 frame. 800x600 with the 16bpp framebuffer gives +about 1110 kB of offscreen area - this allows to upscale up to 768x576 +movies. Note, that all movie resolutions in examples above are +provided as a reference; the movies can have the different aspect +ratios and non-standard dimensions. A total pixel amount is the main +consideration not the certain width and height. +.PP +Due to hardware limitation the overlay video will not work with the +interlaced/doublescan modes. Downscaling is not implemented in +hardware. + +.SS +Configuration options +.PP +The following display +.B Options +are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qHWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable the hardware cursor. Currently, hardware cursor is +not implemented, so the option will be ignored. Default: off (software +cursor). +.TP +.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Disable acceleration. Very useful for determining if the driver has +problems with drawing and acceleration routines. This is the first +option to try if your server runs but you see graphic corruption on +the screen. Using it decreases performance, as it uses software +emulation for drawing operations the video driver can accelerate with +hardware. Default: off (acceleration is enabled). +.TP +.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Use shadow framebuffer. Disables hardware acceleration. Use this +option when the hardware acceleration is not available or +undesirable. Default: off. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qXVideo\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable Xv support. Default: on. + +.PP +The following video memory \fBOptions\fP are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qslow_dram_refresh\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable three refresh cycles per scanline. Default: off (one refresh +cycle). +.TP +.BI "Option \*qslow_edodram\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Switch to 2-cycle EDO mode. Try this if you encounter pixel +corruption. Using this option will cause a decrease in +performance. Default: off (1-cycle EDO mode). +.TP +.BI "Option \*qslow_dram\*q \*q" boolean \*q +For Trio and Aurora64V+ chips: increase -RAS Precharge Timing to 3.5 +MCLK. Try this option if you encounter pixel errors. Default: off (2.5 +MCLK). +.TP +.BI "Option \*qslow_vram\*q \*q" boolean \*q +For Vision964, Vision968 chips: increase -RAS Low Timing to 4.5 +MCLK. Default: off (BIOS defaults). + +.SH SEE ALSO +__xservername__(1), __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__), Xserver(1), +X(__miscmansuffix__) + +.SH AUTHORS +Thomas Roell, Mark Vojkovich, Kevin E.
