Technical Notes o None 4. Reported Working Video Cards o Rage Fury AGP 32MB o XPERT 128 AGP 16MB o XPERT 99 AGP 8MB 5. Configuration The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize the card. The only lines you need in the "Device" section of your XF86Config file are: Section "Device" Identifier "r128" EndSection or let xf86config or XF86Setup do this for you. However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify: o VideoRam - in kilobytes o MemBase - physical address of the linear framebuffer o IOBase - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers o ChipID - PCI DEVICE ID 6. Driver Options o "hw_cursor" - request hardware cursor (default) o "sw_cursor" - software cursor only o "no_accel" - software rendering only o "dac_8_bit" - use color weight 888 in 8 bpp mode (default) o "dac_6_bit" - use color weight 666 in 8 bpp mode (VGA emulation) 7. Known Limitations o None 8. Authors o Alan Hourihane alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk o Rickard E. (Rik) Faith o Kevin E.
