glint
is an Xorg 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.
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration
details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
driver.
The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the following
ChipSet
names may optionally be specified in the config file
N'34'DeviceN'34'
section, and will override the auto-detection:
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
VideoRam
entry in the config file
N'34'DeviceN'34'
section.
Additionally, you may need to specify the bus ID of your card with a
BusID
entry in the config file
N'34'DeviceN'34'
section, especially with FBDev support.
The following driver
Options
are supported:
Option N'34'UseFlatPanelN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Enable the FlatPanel feature on the Permedia3. Default: off.
Option N'34'SWCursorN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Enable or disable the SW cursor. Default: off.
This option disables the
HWCursor
option and vice versa.
Option N'34'NoAccelN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
Option N'34'OverlayN'34'
Enable 8+24 overlay mode. Only appropriate for depth 24, 32 bpp.
(Note:
This hasn't been tested with FBDev support and probably won't work.)
Recognized values are: "8,24", "24,8". Default: off.
Option N'34'PciRetryN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Enable or disable PCI retries.
(Note:
This doesn't work with Permedia2 based cards for Amigas.) Default: off.
Option N'34'ShadowFBN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
(Note:
This disables hardware acceleration.) Default: off.
Option N'34'UseFBDevN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
Enable or disable use of an OS-specific fb interface (which is not supported
on all OSs). See fbdevhw(4) for further information.
Default: off.
Option N'34'BlockWriteN'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
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.
Option N'34'FireGL3000N'34' N'34'booleanN'34'
If you have a card of the same name, turn this on. Default: off.
