viafb_refresh1: (secondary display device)
60, 75, 85, 100, 120 (default:60)
viafb_active_dev:
This option is used to specify active devices.(CRT, DVI, CRT+LCD...)
DVI stands for DVI or HDMI, E.g., If you want to enable HDMI,
set viafb_active_dev=DVI. In SAMM case, the previous of
viafb_active_dev is primary device, and the following is
secondary device.
For example:
To enable one device, such as DVI only, we can use:
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI
To enable two devices, such as CRT+DVI:
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI;
For DuoView case, we can use:
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI
OR
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT...
For SAMM case:
If CRT is primary and DVI is secondary, we should use:
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=CRT+DVI viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
If DVI is primary and CRT is secondary, we should use:
modprobe viafb viafb_active_dev=DVI+CRT viafb_SAMM_ON=1...
viafb_display_hardware_layout:
This option is used to specify display hardware layout for CX700 chip.
1 : LCD only
2 : DVI only
3 : LCD+DVI (default)
4 : LCD1+LCD2 (internal + internal)
16: LCD1+ExternalLCD2 (internal + external)
viafb_second_size:
This option is used to set second device memory size(MB) in SAMM case.
The minimal size is 16.
viafb_platform_epia_dvi:
This option is used to enable DVI on EPIA - M
0 : No DVI on EPIA - M (default)
1 : DVI on EPIA - M
viafb_bus_width:
When using 24 - Bit Bus Width Digital Interface,
this option should be set.
12: 12-Bit LVDS or 12-Bit TMDS (default)
24: 24-Bit LVDS or 24-Bit TMDS
viafb_device_lcd_dualedge:
When using Dual Edge Panel, this option should be set.
0 : No Dual Edge Panel (default)
1 : Dual Edge Panel
viafb_video_dev:
This option is used to specify video output devices(CRT, DVI, LCD) for
duoview case.
For example:
To output video on DVI, we should use:
modprobe viafb viafb_video_dev=DVI...
viafb_lcd_port:
This option is used to specify LCD output port,
available values are "DVP0" "DVP1" "DFP_HIGHLOW" "DFP_HIGH" "DFP_LOW".
for external LCD + external DVI on CX700(External LCD is on DVP0),
we should use:
modprobe viafb viafb_lcd_port=DVP0...
Notes:
1. CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at
the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled.
2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from
multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon
layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a
device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly.
When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and
viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different.
3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution
and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE
instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since
viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush.
4. VX800 2D accelerator hasn't been supported in this driver yet. When
using driver on VX800, the driver will disable the acceleration
function as default.
[Configure viafb with "fbset" tool]
-----------------------------------
"fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux.
1. Inquire current viafb information, type,
# fbset -i
2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates,
# fbset <resolution-vertical_sync>
example,
# fbset "1024x768-75"
or
# fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32
Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available.
3. Set the color depth,
# fbset -depth <value>
example,
# fbset -depth 16
[Bootup with viafb]:
--------------------
Add the following line to your grub.conf:
append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"
