DESCRIPTION

       neomagic is an Xorg driver for the Neomagic graphics chipsets found in many laptop computers.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       neomagic supports the following chipsets:

       MagicGraph 128    (NM2070)

       MagicGraph 128V   (NM2090)

       MagicGraph 128ZV  (NM2093)

       MagicGraph 128ZV+ (NM2097)

       MagicGraph 128XD  (NM2160)

       MagicGraph 256AV  (NM2200)

       MagicGraph 256AV+ (NM2230)

       MagicGraph 256ZX  (NM2360)

       MagicGraph 256XL+ (NM2380)

       The  driver  supports  depths  8, 15, 16 and 24 for all chipsets except the NM2070 which does not support
       depth 24.  All depths are accelerated except for depth 24 which is only accelerated on NM2200  and  newer
       models.   All  visuals  are supported in depth 8.  TrueColor and DirectColor visuals are supported in the
       other depths.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.  This section only  covers  configuration
       details specific to this driver.

       The following driver Options are supported

       Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
              Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.

       Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
              Disable  or  enable software cursor.  Default: software cursor is disable and a hardware cursor is
              used.

       Option "PCIBurst" "boolean"
              Disable or enable PCI burst modes.  Default: enabled.

       Option "Rotate" "CW"

       Option "Rotate" "CCW"
              Rotate the display clockwise or  counterclockwise.   This  mode  is  unaccelerated.   Default:  no
              rotation.

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: off.

       Option "OverlayMem" "integer"
              Reserve  the  given  amount  of  memory (in bytes) for the XVideo overlay.  On boards with limited
              memory, display of large XVideo buffers might fail due to insufficient  available  memory.   Using
              this  option  solves  the  problem  at  the  expense  of  reducing  the memory available for other
              operations.  For full-resolution DVDs, 829440 bytes (720x576x2) are necessary.

       Note
       On some laptops using the 2160 chipset (MagicGraph 128XD) the following options are  needed  to  avoid  a
       lock-up of the graphic engine:
           Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect"
           Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill"
