What is lxfb?
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a graphics framebuffer driver for AMD Geode LX based processors.
|
||||
|
||||
Advantages:
|
||||
|
||||
* No need to use AMD's VSA code (or other VESA emulation layer) in the
|
||||
BIOS.
|
||||
* It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
|
||||
without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
|
||||
* You can run XF68_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
|
||||
* Most important: boot logo :-)
|
||||
|
||||
Disadvantages:
|
||||
|
||||
* graphic mode is slower than text mode...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to use it?
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Switching modes is done using lxfb.mode_option=<resolution>... boot
|
||||
parameter or using `fbset' program.
|
||||
|
||||
See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt for more information on modedb
|
||||
resolutions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
===
|
||||
|
||||
XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
You can pass kernel command line options to lxfb with lxfb.<option>.
|
||||
For example, lxfb.mode_option=800x600@75.
|
||||
Accepted options:
|
||||
|
||||
mode_option - specify the video mode. Of the form
|
||||
<x>x<y>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
|
||||
vram - size of video ram (normally auto-detected)
