- modedb default video mode support
- Currently all frame buffer device drivers have their own video mode databases,
- which is a mess and a waste of resources. The main idea of modedb is to have
- - one routine to probe for video modes, which can be used by all frame buffer
- devices
- - one generic video mode database with a fair amount of standard videomodes
- (taken from XFree86)
- - the possibility to supply your own mode database for graphics hardware that
- needs non-standard modes, like amifb and Mac frame buffer drivers (which
- use macmodes.c)
- When a frame buffer device receives a video= option it doesn't know, it should
- consider that to be a video mode option. If no frame buffer device is specified
- in a video= option, fbmem considers that to be a global video mode option.
- Valid mode specifiers (mode_option argument):
- <xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
- <name>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
- with <xres>, <yres>, <bpp> and <refresh> decimal numbers and <name> a string.
- Things between square brackets are optional.
- To find a suitable video mode, you just call
- int __init fb_find_mode(struct fb_var_screeninfo *var,
- struct fb_info *info, const char *mode_option,
- const struct fb_videomode *db, unsigned int dbsize,
- const struct fb_videomode *default_mode,
- unsigned int default_bpp)
- with db/dbsize your non-standard video mode database, or NULL to use the
- standard video mode database.
- fb_find_mode() first tries the specified video mode (or any mode that matches,
- e.g. there can be multiple 640x480 modes, each of them is tried). If that
- fails, the default mode is tried. If that fails, it walks over all modes.
- To specify a video mode at bootup, use the following boot options:
- video=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@refresh]
- where <driver> is a name from the table below. Valid default modes can be
- found in linux/drivers/video/modedb.c. Check your driver's documentation.
- There may be more modes.
- Drivers that support modedb boot options
- Boot Name Cards Supported
- ami - Amiga chipset frame buffer
- aty128fb - ATI Rage128 / Pro frame buffer
- atyfb - ATI Mach64 frame buffer
- tdfx - 3D Fx frame buffer
- BTW, only a few drivers use this at the moment. Others are to follow
- (feel free to send patches).
