5 menu "Graphics support"
8 tristate "Support for frame buffer devices"
10 The frame buffer device provides an abstraction for the graphics
11 hardware. It represents the frame buffer of some video hardware and
12 allows application software to access the graphics hardware through
13 a well-defined interface, so the software doesn't need to know
14 anything about the low-level (hardware register) stuff.
16 Frame buffer devices work identically across the different
17 architectures supported by Linux and make the implementation of
18 application programs easier and more portable; at this point, an X
19 server exists which uses the frame buffer device exclusively.
20 On several non-X86 architectures, the frame buffer device is the
21 only way to use the graphics hardware.
23 The device is accessed through special device nodes, usually located
24 in the /dev directory, i.e. /dev/fb*.
26 You need an utility program called fbset to make full use of frame
27 buffer devices. Please read <file:Documentation/fb/framebuffer.txt>
28 and the Framebuffer-HOWTO at
29 <http://www.tahallah.demon.co.uk/programming/prog.html> for more
32 Say Y here and to the driver for your graphics board below if you
33 are compiling a kernel for a non-x86 architecture.
35 If you are compiling for the x86 architecture, you can say Y if you
36 want to play with it, but it is not essential. Please note that
37 running graphical applications that directly touch the hardware
38 (e.g. an accelerated X server) and that are not frame buffer
39 device-aware may cause unexpected results. If unsure, say N.
41 config FB_CFB_FILLRECT
46 Include the cfb_fillrect function for generic software rectangle
47 filling. This is used by drivers that don't provide their own
48 (accelerated) version.
50 config FB_CFB_COPYAREA
55 Include the cfb_copyarea function for generic software area copying.
56 This is used by drivers that don't provide their own (accelerated)
59 config FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT
64 Include the cfb_imageblit function for generic software image
65 blitting. This is used by drivers that don't provide their own
66 (accelerated) version.
73 Include the soft_cursor function for generic software cursor support.
74 This is used by drivers that don't provide their own (accelerated)
82 config FB_MODE_HELPERS
83 bool "Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers"
87 This enables functions for handling video modes using the
88 Generalized Timing Formula and the EDID parser. A few drivers rely
89 on this feature such as the radeonfb, rivafb, and the i810fb. If
90 your driver does not take advantage of this feature, choosing Y will
91 just increase the kernel size by about 5K.
93 config FB_TILEBLITTING
94 bool "Enable Tile Blitting Support"
98 This enables tile blitting. Tile blitting is a drawing technique
99 where the screen is divided into rectangular sections (tiles), whereas
100 the standard blitting divides the screen into pixels. Because the
101 default drawing element is a tile, drawing functions will be passed
102 parameters in terms of number of tiles instead of number of pixels.
103 For example, to draw a single character, instead of using bitmaps,
104 an index to an array of bitmaps will be used. To clear or move a
105 rectangular section of a screen, the rectangle will be described in
106 terms of number of tiles in the x- and y-axis.
108 This is particularly important to one driver, matroxfb. If

724 per video mode. Since the GTF allows nondiscrete timings

727 and vertical resolutions, and vertical refresh rates without having

729 to maximize the performance of an aging display, or if you just

823 are supported without additional modules.
825 The driver starts in monitor mode. You must use the matroxset tool

827 swap primary and secondary head outputs, or to change output mode.

865 head is not compatible with accelerated XFree 3.3.x SVGA servers -
866 secondary head output is blanked while you are in X. With XFree
867 3.9.17 preview you can use both heads if you use SVGA over fbdev or
868 the fbdev driver on first head and the fbdev driver on second head.
870 If you compile it as module, two modules are created,
871 matroxfb_crtc2 and matroxfb_maven. Matroxfb_maven is needed for
872 both G200 and G400, matroxfb_crtc2 is needed only by G400. You must
873 also load i2c-matroxfb to get it to run.
875 The driver starts in monitor mode and you must use the matroxset

895 the driver compiled with Y is larger and a bit slower, especially on

900 insert several instances of the module matroxfb into the kernel
901 with insmod, supplying the parameter "dev=N" where N is 0, 1, etc.
902 for the different Matrox devices. This method is slightly faster but
903 uses 40 KB of kernel memory per Matrox card.

1449 using the PXA LCD driver.
1451 This option allows you to override the panel parameters

1453 different models of flatpanel. If you will only be using a
1454 single model of flatpanel then you can safely leave this

1479 This is a `virtual' frame buffer device. It operates on a chunk of
1480 unswappable kernel memory instead of on the memory of a graphics
1481 board. This means you cannot see any output sent to this frame
1482 buffer device, while it does consume precious memory. The main use
1483 of this frame buffer device is testing and debugging the frame
1484 buffer subsystem. Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect
1485 the innocent, it has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the
1486 kernel option `video=vfb:'.
1488 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1489 module will be called vfb.
