This is an accelerated +driver, the following framebuffer depths are supported: 8, 15, 16, 24. +All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is +supported for the other depths. The driver has preliminary support for +the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). Multi-head configurations are +supported. +.PP +Support for video overlay is provided, supporting I420, YV12, I422, YUY2, +UYVY, VYUY and YV16 formats. The common I420 and YV12 formats are +converted on the fly by this driver to I422 and YV16 for the hardware. +Support is also provided for video overlay using an XVBO format, which +can be used to pass a drm buffer handle to the video overlay backend, as +well as Marvell's special +.B libbmm +based method. +.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE +The +.B armada +driver currently supports the Marvell Armada 510 LCD controller(s). +.PP +.B armada +communicates with the Linux Kernel Direct Rendering Manager (drm) layer +to control and arbitrate access to the hardware. Kernel drm support is +required. +.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS +Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration +details. This section only covers configuration details specific to +this driver. +.PP +For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the screen +section of the config file. The +.B armada +driver will request video mode information from the Linux Kernel drm layer. +.PP +The VideoRAM option is ignored by this driver; video memory is managed +by the Linux Kernel drm layer using system memory. +.PP +The following driver +.B Options +are supported: +.TP +.BI "Option \*qHotplug\*q \*q" boolean \*q +This option controls whether the driver automatically notifies when +monitors are connected or disconnected. +.IP +Default: enabled. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qHWcursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable use of the hardware cursor. +.IP +Default: disabled. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qUseGPU\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable use of the Vivante GPU for acceleration. +.IP +Default: enabled. +.TP +.BI "Option \*qXvAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q +Enable or disable the X Video backend. +.IP +Default: enabled. +.TP +.SH "SEE ALSO" +__xservername__(__appmansuffix__), __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__), xorgconfig(__appmansuffix__), Xserver(__appmansuffix__), +X(__miscmansuffix__) +.SH AUTHORS +Authors include: Gerd Knorr, Michel Dänzer, Geert Uytterhoeven, Russell King. |
