Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize the card. However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify for UMS (Userspace Modesetting):
VideoRam - in kilobytes
MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
IOBase - physical address of the MMIO registers
ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer
IOBase - physical address of the MMIO registers
ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID
In addition, the following driver Options are supported for both UMS (Userspace Modesetting) and KMS (Kernel Modesetting):
- Option 'SWcursor' 'boolean'
- Selects software cursor. The default is off.
- Option 'NoAccel' 'boolean'
- Enables or disables all hardware acceleration.
The default is to enable hardware acceleration. - Option 'ZaphodHeads' 'string'
- Specify the RandR output(s) to use with zaphod mode for a particular driver instance. If you use this option you must use this option for all instances of the driver.
For example: Option 'ZaphodHeads' 'LVDS,VGA-0' will assign xrandr outputs LVDS and VGA-0 to this instance of the driver. - Option 'EXAVSync' 'boolean'
- This option attempts to avoid tearing by stalling the engine until the display controller has passed the destination region. It reduces tearing at the cost of performance and has been known to cause instability on some chips. The default is off.
The following driver Options are supported for KMS (Kernel Modesetting):
- Option 'ColorTiling' 'boolean'
- The framebuffer can be addressed either in linear or tiled mode. Tiled mode can provide significant performance benefits with 3D applications. Tiling will be disabled if the drm module is too old or if the current display configuration does not support it. On R600+ this enables 1D tiling mode.
The default value is on for R/RV3XX, R/RV4XX, R/RV5XX, RS6XX, RS740, R/RV6XX, R/RV7XX, RS780, RS880, EVERGREEN, and CAYMAN and off for R/RV/RS1XX, R/RV/RS2XX, and RS3XX. - Option 'ColorTiling2D' 'boolean'
- The framebuffer can be addressed either in linear, 1D, or 2D tiled modes. 2D tiled mode can provide significant performance benefits over 1D tiling with 3D applications. Tiling will be disabled if the drm module is too old or if the current display configuration does not support it. KMS ColorTiling2D is only supported on R600 and newer chips.
The default value is off for R/RV6XX, R/RV7XX, RS780, RS880, EVERGREEN, and CAYMAN. - Option 'EXAPixmaps' 'boolean'
- Under KMS, to avoid thrashing pixmaps in/out of VRAM on low memory cards, we use a heuristic based on VRAM amount to determine whether to allow EXA to use VRAM for non-essential pixmaps. This option allows us to override the heuristic. The default is on with > 32MB VRAM, off with < 32MB.
- Option 'SwapbuffersWait' 'boolean'
- This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA calls by GL applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making sure the display scanline is outside of the area to be copied before the copy occurs. If disabled, no scanline synchronization is performed, meaning tearing will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this option can adversely affect the framerate of applications that render frames at less than refresh rate.
- The default value is on.
- Option 'EnablePageFlip' 'boolean'
- Enable DRI2 page flipping. The default is on. Pageflipping is supported on all radeon hardware.
The following driver Options are supported for UMS (Userspace Modesetting):
The default is off.
The default value is 0x1E.
The default value is either 1536 (for most chips) or 1920.
1 -- 1x (before AGP v3 only)
2 -- 2x (before AGP v3 only)
4 -- 4x
8 -- 8x (AGP v3 only)
others -- invalid
The default is to leave it unchanged.
The default is off.
PCI -- PCI bus
AGP -- AGP bus
PCIE -- PCI Express bus
(used only when DRI is enabled)
The default is auto detect.

Used to prevent flickering or tearing problem caused by display buffer underflow.
AUTO -- Driver calculated (default).
BIOS -- Remain unchanged from BIOS setting. Use this if the calculation is not correct for your card.
HIGH -- Force to the highest priority. Use this if you have problem with above options. This may affect performance slightly.
The default value is AUTO.
If this option is enabled, a new DRI driver is required for direct rendering.
Color tiling will be automatically disabled in interlaced or doublescan screen modes.
The default value is on.
The default value is off.
You may specify a semicolon-separated list of output name and filename pairs with an optional flag, 'digital' or 'analog', to override the digital bit in the EDID which is used by the driver to determine whether to use the analog or digital encoder associated with a DVI-I port. The output name is the RandR output name, e.g., 'VGA-0' or 'DVI-0'; consult the Xorg log for the supported output names of any given system.
The file must contain a raw 128-byte EDID block, as captured by get-edid.
For example: Option 'CustomEDID' 'VGA-0:/tmp/edid1.bin; DVI-0:/tmp/edid2.bin:digital' will assign the EDID from the file /tmp/edid1.bin to the output device VGA-0, and the EDID from the file /tmp/edid2.bin to the output device DVI-0 and force the DVI port to use the digital encoder.
Note that an output name must always be specified, even if only one EDID is specified.
Caution: Specifying an EDID that doesn't exactly match your display may damage your hardware, as it allows the driver to specify timings beyond the capabilities of your display. Use with care.
For example, Option 'PanelSize' '1400x1050'
The default value is none.
NONE -- No subpixel (CRT like displays)
RGB -- in horizontal RGB order (most flat panels)
BGR -- in horizontal BGR order (some flat panels)
This option is intended to be used in following cases:
1. The default subpixel order is incorrect for your panel.
2. Enable subpixel decimation on analog panels.
3. Adjust to one display type in dual-head clone mode setup.
4. Get better performance with Render acceleration on digital panels (use NONE setting).
The default is NONE for CRT, RGB for digital panels
1. The default subpixel order is incorrect for your panel.
2. Enable subpixel decimation on analog panels.
3. Adjust to one display type in dual-head clone mode setup.
4. Get better performance with Render acceleration on digital panels (use NONE setting).
The default is NONE for CRT, RGB for digital panels

Used to specify Mac models for connector tables and quirks. If you have a PowerBook or Mini with DVI that does not work properly, try the alternate options as Apple does not seem to provide a good way of knowing whether they use internal or external TMDS for DVI. Only valid on PowerPC. On Linux, the driver will attempt to detect the MacModel automatically.
ibook -- ibooks
powerbook-external -- Powerbooks with external DVI
powerbook-internal -- Powerbooks with integrated DVI
powerbook-vga -- Powerbooks with VGA rather than DVI
mini-external -- Mac Mini with external DVI
mini-internal -- Mac Mini with integrated DVI
imac-g5-isight -- iMac G5 iSight
emac -- eMac G4
sam440ep -- SAM440ep embedded board
The default value is undefined.
Used to specify the default TV standard if you want to use something other than the BIOS default. Valid options are:
ntsc
pal
pal-m
pal-60
ntsc-j
scart-pal
The default value is undefined.
The driver supports the following X11 Xv attributes for Textured Video. You can use the 'xvattr' tool to query/set those attributes at runtime.
- XV_VSYNC
- XV_VSYNC is used to control whether textured adapter synchronizes the screen update to the monitor vertical refresh to eliminate tearing. It has two values: 'off'(0) and 'on'(1). The default is 'on'(1).
- XV_CRTC
- XV_CRTC is used to control which display controller (crtc) the textured adapter synchronizes the screen update with when XV_VSYNC is enabled. The default, 'auto'(-1), will sync to the display controller that more of the video is on; when this is ambiguous, the display controller associated with the RandR primary output is preferred. This attribute is useful for things like clone mode where the user can best decide which display should be synced. The default is 'auto'(-1).
- XV_BICUBIC
- XV_BICUBIC is used to control whether textured adapter should apply a bicubic filter to smooth the output. It has three values: 'off'(0), 'on'(1) and 'auto'(2). 'off' means never apply the filter, 'on' means always apply the filter and 'auto' means apply the filter only if the X and Y sizes are scaled to more than double to avoid blurred output. Bicubic filtering is not currently compatible with other Xv attributes like hue, contrast, and brightness, and must be disabled to use those attributes. The default is 'off'(0).
