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

697 bool "use VESA Generalized Timing Formula"
700 If you say Y, then the VESA standard, Generalized Timing Formula
701 or GTF, will be used to calculate the required video timing values
702 per video mode. Since the GTF allows nondiscrete timings
703 (nondiscrete being a range of values as opposed to discrete being a
704 set of values), you'll be able to use any combination of horizontal
705 and vertical resolutions, and vertical refresh rates without having
706 to specify your own timing parameters. This is especially useful
707 to maximize the performance of an aging display, or if you just
708 have a display with nonstandard dimensions. A VESA compliant
709 monitor is recommended, but can still work with non-compliant ones.

804 "Matrox I2C support" and "G400 second head support" here in the
805 framebuffer section. G450/G550 secondary head and digital output
806 are supported without additional modules.
808 The driver starts in monitor mode. You must use the matroxset tool
809 (available at <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/>) to
810 swap primary and secondary head outputs, or to change output mode.
811 Secondary head driver always start in 640x480 resolution and you
812 must use fbset to change it.
814 Do not forget that second head supports only 16 and 32 bpp
815 packed pixels, so it is a good idea to compile them into the kernel
816 too. You can use only some font widths, as the driver uses generic
817 painting procedures (the secondary head does not use acceleration
820 G450/G550 hardware can display TV picture only from secondary CRTC,

831 G400, and the secondary head DDC bus, present on G400 only.
833 You can say Y or M here if you want to experiment with monitor
834 detection code. You must say Y or M here if you want to use either

846 Say Y or M here if you want to use a secondary head (meaning two
847 monitors in parallel) on G400 or MGA-TVO add-on on G200. Secondary
848 head is not compatible with accelerated XFree 3.3.x SVGA servers -
849 secondary head output is blanked while you are in X. With XFree
850 3.9.17 preview you can use both heads if you use SVGA over fbdev or
851 the fbdev driver on first head and the fbdev driver on second head.
853 If you compile it as module, two modules are created,
854 matroxfb_crtc2 and matroxfb_maven. Matroxfb_maven is needed for
855 both G200 and G400, matroxfb_crtc2 is needed only by G400. You must
856 also load i2c-matroxfb to get it to run.
858 The driver starts in monitor mode and you must use the matroxset
860 <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/>) to switch it to
861 PAL or NTSC or to swap primary and secondary head outputs.
862 Secondary head driver also always start in 640x480 resolution, you
863 must use fbset to change it.
865 Also do not forget that second head supports only 16 and 32 bpp
866 packed pixels, so it is a good idea to compile them into the kernel
867 too. You can use only some font widths, as the driver uses generic

875 Say Y here if you have more than one (supported) Matrox device in
876 your computer and you want to use all of them for different monitors
877 ("multihead"). If you have only one device, you should say N because
878 the driver compiled with Y is larger and a bit slower, especially on
881 If you said M to "Matrox unified accelerated driver" and N here, you
882 will still be able to use several Matrox devices simultaneously:
883 insert several instances of the module matroxfb into the kernel
884 with insmod, supplying the parameter "dev=N" where N is 0, 1, etc.
885 for the different Matrox devices. This method is slightly faster but
886 uses 40 KB of kernel memory per Matrox card.
888 There is no need for enabling 'Matrox multihead support' if you have
889 only one Matrox card in the box.

1414 This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
1415 inserted and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The
1416 module will be called s3c2410fb. If you want to compile it as a module,
1417 say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.

1434 This is a `virtual' frame buffer device. It operates on a chunk of
1435 unswappable kernel memory instead of on the memory of a graphics
1436 board. This means you cannot see any output sent to this frame
1437 buffer device, while it does consume precious memory. The main use
1438 of this frame buffer device is testing and debugging the frame
1439 buffer subsystem. Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect
1440 the innocent, it has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the
1441 kernel option `video=vfb:'.
1443 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1444 module will be called vfb.
