xf86-video-armada
X.org graphics driver for KMS based systems with pluggable GPU backend

What is xf86-video-armada?
--------------------------
The xf86-video-armada module is a 2D graphics driver for the X Window
System as implemented by X.org, supporting these DRM KMS drivers:

	Freescale i.MX
	Marvell Armada 510 (Dove)

and GPUs:

	Vivnate libGAL (Armada only)

Build requirements
------------------
xf86-video-armada can be built as a stand-alone KMS driver, or with
Vivante GPU support.

When building with Vivante libGAL support, the configure options
--with-libgal-include= and --with-libgal-lib= should indicate the
location of the libGAL headers and library respectively.

The following packages are required by this driver:

- libdrm-armada   git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/libdrm-armada.git/

What operations are accelerated?
--------------------------------
- Copies using all alu operations.
- GetImage partially accelerated.
- PutImage partially accelerated.
- Solid fills without stipples or partial plane mask.
- FillSpans without stipples or partial plane mask.
- Xrender compositing without component alpha or alpha maps.
