.SH DESCRIPTION
.B amdgpu
is an __xservername__ driver for AMD RADEON-based video cards with the
following features:
.PP
.PD 0
.TP 2
\(bu
Support for 24-bit pixel depth;
.TP
\(bu
RandR support up to version 1.4;
.TP
\(bu
3D acceleration;
.PD
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The
.B amdgpu
driver supports CI and newer families' video cards.
.PD
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
details.  This section only covers configuration details specific to this
driver.
.PP
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.
.br
The default is to
.B enable
hardware acceleration.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qAccelMethod\*q \*q" string \*q
Setting this option to
.B none
disables use of the glamor acceleration architecture. In that case, all 2D
rendering is done by the CPU, but 3D and video hardware acceleration can still
work. This is mainly useful for OpenGL driver bring-up.
.br
The default is to use glamor.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qZaphodHeads\*q \*q" string \*q
Specify the RandR output(s) to use with zaphod mode for a particular driver
instance.  If you use this option you must use this option for all instances
of the driver.
.br
For example:
.B
Option \*qZaphodHeads\*q \*qLVDS,VGA-0\*q
will assign xrandr outputs LVDS and VGA-0 to this instance of the driver.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qDRI3\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable the DRI3 extension. The default is
.B off.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qEnablePageFlip\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable DRI2 page flipping.  The default is
.B on.
