|
|
|
|
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_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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure viafb via /proc
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
The following files exist in /proc/viafb
|
|
|
|
supported_output_devices
|
|
This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all
|
|
output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
|
|
that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
|
|
provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
|
|
a real connector.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
# cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
|
|
|
|
iga1/output_devices, iga2/output_devices
|
|
These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
|
|
independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
|
|
forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
|
|
to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
# cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
|
|
This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
|
|
Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
|
|
runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
|
|
between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device
|
|
names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
|
|
files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
|
|
and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
|
|
to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
|
|
existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
|
|
with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
|
|
off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
|
|
removed there and added to the new one.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
Add CRT as output device to iga1::
|
|
|
|
# echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2::
|
|
|
|
# echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
|
|
|
|
Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT::
|
|
|
|
# echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bootup with viafb
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your grub.conf::
|
|
|
|
append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85"
|
|
|
|
