<sect>Supported Hardware
17
<item>Intel 810 motherboards:
30
<item>Full support for 8, 15, 16, and 24 bit pixel depths.
31
<item>Hardware cursor support to reduce sprite flicker.
32
<item>Hardware accelerated 2D drawing engine support for 8, 15, 16 and
34
<item>Support for high resolution video modes up to 1600x1200.
35
<item>Fully programmable clock supported.
36
<item>Robust text mode restore for VT switching.
43
<item>Hardware acceleration is not possible when using the framebuffer
44
in 32 bit per pixel format, and this mode is not supported by
46
<item>Interlace modes cannot be supported.
47
<item>This driver currently only works for Linux/ix86 and recent versions
48
of FreeBSD. It requires the agpgart kernel support, which is
49
included in Linux kernels 2.3.42 and higher, and FreeBSD 4.1
54
<sect>Reported Working Video Cards
57
<item>Intel evaluation hardware - i810, i810-dc100, i810e and i815.
58
<item>Tyan Tomcat Motherboard.
59
<item>HappyPC set-top box.
65
The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to
66
initialize the card. The only lines you need in the "Device"
67
section of your XF86Config file are:
70
Identifier "Intel i810"
74
or let <tt>xf86config</tt> do this for you.
76
However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
78
<item>DacSpeed - in MHz
79
<item>MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
80
<item>IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
83
In order to use most resolutions, it is necessary to install the
84
'agpgart.o' module. You will probably have to compile the module yourself
85
(see the notes in the module).
87
Note: the i810 driver detects whether your motherboard has display cache
88
video memory. This memory is has reduced bandwidth compared to normal
89
system memory, and isn't used by the server. The main function of this
90
memory is for ancillary buffers (eg. z buffer) in a forthcoming 3d
97
<item>"NoAccel" - Turn off hardware acceleration
98
<item>"SWCursor" - Request a software cursor (hardware is default)
99
<item>"Dac6Bit" - Force the use of a 6 Bit Dac (8 Bit is the default)
102
<sect>Known Limitations
105
<item>No 3D support in this release.
106
<item>Running two X servers on different VTs is not supported at this time.
