Configuration The driver auto-detects all device info included memory size, so use the fol- lowing device section in your XF86Config file: Section "Device" Identifier "NeoMagic" EndSection or let xf86config or XF86Setup do this for you. But if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify: VideoRam - in kilobytes DacSpeed - in MHz MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer MMIOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers 6. Driver Options o "linear" - linear framebuffer mode (default) o "no_linear" - banked framebuffer mode o "no_accel" - software rendering only o "hw_cursor" - hardware cursor requested (default) o "sw_cursor" - software cursor only o "mmio" - use I/O space via memory map (default) o "no_mmio" - use I/O space directly o "intern_disp" - enable internal display (default) o "extern_disp" - enable external display o "no_stretch" - disable stretching of lower resolution modes on panel o "lcd_center" - center lower resolution modes on panel NOTE: Stretching of panel image is on by default for lower panel resolutions. Options useful for special lcd mode setting (should not be needed): o "prog_lcd_mode_regs" - set special lcd mode registers (2070 default) o "no_prog_lcd_mode_regs" - don't set lcd mode registers (non-2070 default) o "prog_lcd_mode_stretch" - force lcd mode regs if stretching is enabled o "no_prog_lcd_mode_stretch" - no lcd mode regs if stretching (default) Option for subnotebooks and other laptops with uncommon size panels: o "override_validate_mode" - disable LCD mode checking WARNING: Disabling mode checking will allow for invalid modes that could dam- age your LCD. 7. Known Limitations o External monitor support on the NM2070. o Banked, or no_linear mode on the NM2070. o Horizontal centering for lower than panel resolution on NM2070. 8.
