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 config FB_MODE_HELPERS
74 bool "Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers"
78 This enables functions for handling video modes using the
79 Generalized Timing Formula and the EDID parser. A few drivers rely
80 on this feature such as the radeonfb, rivafb, and the i810fb. If
81 your driver does not take advantage of this feature, choosing Y will
82 just increase the kernel size by about 5K.
84 config FB_TILEBLITTING
85 bool "Enable Tile Blitting Support"
89 This enables tile blitting. Tile blitting is a drawing technique
90 where the screen is divided into rectangular sections (tiles), whereas
91 the standard blitting divides the screen into pixels. Because the
92 default drawing element is a tile, drawing functions will be passed
93 parameters in terms of number of tiles instead of number of pixels.
94 For example, to draw a single character, instead of using bitmaps,
95 an index to an array of bitmaps will be used. To clear or move a
96 rectangular section of a screen, the rectangle will be described in
97 terms of number of tiles in the x- and y-axis.
99 This is particularly important to one driver, matroxfb. If

700 per video mode. Since the GTF allows nondiscrete timings
701 (nondiscrete being a range of values as opposed to discrete being a
702 set of values), you'll be able to use any combination of horizontal
703 and vertical resolutions, and vertical refresh rates without having
704 to specify your own timing parameters. This is especially useful
705 to maximize the performance of an aging display, or if you just
706 have a display with nonstandard dimensions. A VESA compliant

803 framebuffer section. G450/G550 secondary head and digital output
804 are supported without additional modules.
806 The driver starts in monitor mode. You must use the matroxset tool
807 (available at <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/>) to
808 swap primary and secondary head outputs, or to change output mode.
809 Secondary head driver always start in 640x480 resolution and you
810 must use fbset to change it.
812 Do not forget that second head supports only 16 and 32 bpp
813 packed pixels, so it is a good idea to compile them into the kernel
814 too. You can use only some font widths, as the driver uses generic
815 painting procedures (the secondary head does not use acceleration

844 Say Y or M here if you want to use a secondary head (meaning two
845 monitors in parallel) on G400 or MGA-TVO add-on on G200. Secondary
846 head is not compatible with accelerated XFree 3.3.x SVGA servers -
847 secondary head output is blanked while you are in X. With XFree
848 3.9.17 preview you can use both heads if you use SVGA over fbdev or
849 the fbdev driver on first head and the fbdev driver on second head.
851 If you compile it as module, two modules are created,
852 matroxfb_crtc2 and matroxfb_maven. Matroxfb_maven is needed for
853 both G200 and G400, matroxfb_crtc2 is needed only by G400. You must
854 also load i2c-matroxfb to get it to run.
856 The driver starts in monitor mode and you must use the matroxset
858 <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/>) to switch it to
859 PAL or NTSC or to swap primary and secondary head outputs.
860 Secondary head driver also always start in 640x480 resolution, you
861 must use fbset to change it.
863 Also do not forget that second head supports only 16 and 32 bpp

873 Say Y here if you have more than one (supported) Matrox device in
874 your computer and you want to use all of them for different monitors
875 ("multihead"). If you have only one device, you should say N because
876 the driver compiled with Y is larger and a bit slower, especially on

881 insert several instances of the module matroxfb into the kernel
882 with insmod, supplying the parameter "dev=N" where N is 0, 1, etc.
883 for the different Matrox devices. This method is slightly faster but
884 uses 40 KB of kernel memory per Matrox card.
886 There is no need for enabling 'Matrox multihead support' if you have
887 only one Matrox card in the box.

1427 inserted and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The
1428 module will be called s3c2410fb. If you want to compile it as a module,

1446 This is a `virtual' frame buffer device. It operates on a chunk of
1447 unswappable kernel memory instead of on the memory of a graphics
1448 board. This means you cannot see any output sent to this frame
1449 buffer device, while it does consume precious memory. The main use
1450 of this frame buffer device is testing and debugging the frame
1451 buffer subsystem. Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect
1452 the innocent, it has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the
1453 kernel option `video=vfb:'.
1455 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1456 module will be called vfb.
