+=================
+What is matroxfb?
+=================
+
+.. [This file is cloned from VesaFB. Thanks go to Gerd Knorr]
+
+
+This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for Matrox devices on
+Alpha, Intel and PPC boxes.
+
+Advantages:
+
+ * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
+   without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
+ * You can run XF{68,86}_FBDev or XFree86 fbdev driver on top of /dev/fb0
+ * Most important: boot logo :-)
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+ * graphic mode is slower than text mode... but you should not notice
+   if you use same resolution as you used in textmode.
+
+
+How to use it?
+==============
+
+Switching modes is done using the video=matroxfb:vesa:... boot parameter
+or using `fbset` program.
+
+If you want, for example, enable a resolution of 1280x1024x24bpp you should
+pass to the kernel this command line: "video=matroxfb:vesa:0x1BB".
+
+You should compile in both vgacon (to boot if you remove you Matrox from
+box) and matroxfb (for graphics mode). You should not compile-in vesafb
+unless you have primary display on non-Matrox VBE2.0 device (see
+Documentation/fb/vesafb.rst for details).
+
+Currently supported video modes are (through vesa:... interface, PowerMac
+has [as addon] compatibility code):

+You can enter these number either hexadecimal (leading `0x`) or decimal
+(0x100 = 256). You can also use value + 512 to achieve compatibility
+with your old number passed to vesafb.
+
+Non-listed number can be achieved by more complicated command-line, for
+example 1600x1200x32bpp can be specified by `video=matroxfb:vesa:0x11C,depth:32`.
+
+
+X11
+===
+
+XF{68,86}_FBDev should work just fine, but it is non-accelerated. On non-intel
+architectures there are some glitches for 24bpp videomodes. 8, 16 and 32bpp
+works fine.
+
+Running another (accelerated) X-Server like XF86_SVGA works too. But (at least)
+XFree servers have big troubles in multihead configurations (even on first
+head, not even talking about second). Running XFree86 4.x accelerated mga
+driver is possible, but you must not enable DRI - if you do, resolution and
+color depth of your X desktop must match resolution and color depths of your
+virtual consoles, otherwise X will corrupt accelerator settings.
+
+
+SVGALib
+=======
+
+Driver contains SVGALib compatibility code. It is turned on by choosing textual
+mode for console. You can do it at boot time by using videomode
+2,3,7,0x108-0x10C or 0x1C0. At runtime, `fbset -depth 0` does this work.
+Unfortunately, after SVGALib application exits, screen contents is corrupted.
+Switching to another console and back fixes it. I hope that it is SVGALib's
+problem and not mine, but I'm not sure.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You can pass kernel command line options to matroxfb with
+`video=matroxfb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should be
+separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`).
+Accepted options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+mem:X        size of memory (X can be in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes)
+	     You can only decrease value determined by driver because of
+	     it always probe for memory. Default is to use whole detected
+	     memory usable for on-screen display (i.e. max. 8 MB).
+disabled     do not load driver; you can use also `off`, but `disabled`
+	     is here too.
+enabled      load driver, if you have `video=matroxfb:disabled` in LILO
+	     configuration, you can override it by this (you cannot override
+	     `off`). It is default.
+noaccel      do not use acceleration engine. It does not work on Alphas.
+accel        use acceleration engine. It is default.
+nopan        create initial consoles with vyres = yres, thus disabling virtual
+	     scrolling.
+pan          create initial consoles as tall as possible (vyres = memory/vxres).
+	     It is default.
+nopciretry   disable PCI retries. It is needed for some broken chipsets,
+	     it is autodetected for intel's 82437. In this case device does
+	     not comply to PCI 2.1 specs (it will not guarantee that every
+	     transaction terminate with success or retry in 32 PCLK).
+pciretry     enable PCI retries. It is default, except for intel's 82437.
+novga        disables VGA I/O ports. It is default if BIOS did not enable
+	     device. You should not use this option, some boards then do not
+	     restart without power off.
+vga          preserve state of VGA I/O ports. It is default. Driver does not
+	     enable VGA I/O if BIOS did not it (it is not safe to enable it in
+	     most cases).
+nobios       disables BIOS ROM. It is default if BIOS did not enable BIOS
+	     itself. You should not use this option, some boards then do not
+	     restart without power off.
+bios         preserve state of BIOS ROM. It is default. Driver does not enable
+	     BIOS if BIOS was not enabled before.
+noinit       tells driver, that devices were already initialized. You should use
+	     it if you have G100 and/or if driver cannot detect memory, you see
+	     strange pattern on screen and so on. Devices not enabled by BIOS
+	     are still initialized. It is default.
+init         driver initializes every device it knows about.
+memtype      specifies memory type, implies 'init'. This is valid only for G200
+	     and G400 and has following meaning:
+
+	       G200:
+		 -  0 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 2MB onboard, probably sgram
+		 -  1 -> 2x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
+		 -  2 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
+		 -  3 -> 2x256Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
+		 -  4 -> 2x512Kx16 chips, 8/16MB onboard, probably sdram only
+		 -  5 -> same as above
+		 -  6 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 4MB onboard, probably sgram
+		 -  7 -> 4x128Kx32 chips, 8MB onboard, probably sgram
+	       G400:
+		 -  0 -> 2x512Kx16 SDRAM, 16/32MB
+		 -	 2x512Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
+		 -  1 -> 2x256Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
+		 -  2 -> 4x128Kx32 SGRAM, 8/16MB
+		 -  3 -> 4x512Kx32 SDRAM, 32MB
+		 -  4 -> 4x256Kx32 SGRAM, 16/32MB
+		 -  5 -> 2x1Mx32 SDRAM, 32MB
+		 -  6 -> reserved
+		 -  7 -> reserved
+
+	     You should use sdram or sgram parameter in addition to memtype
+	     parameter.
+nomtrr       disables write combining on frame buffer. This slows down driver
+	     but there is reported minor incompatibility between GUS DMA and
+	     XFree under high loads if write combining is enabled (sound
+	     dropouts).
+mtrr         enables write combining on frame buffer. It speeds up video
+	     accesses much. It is default. You must have MTRR support enabled
+	     in kernel and your CPU must have MTRR (f.e. Pentium II have them).
+sgram        tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SGRAM memory. It has no
+	     effect without `init`.
+sdram        tells to driver that you have Gxx0 with SDRAM memory.
+	     It is a default.
+inv24        change timings parameters for 24bpp modes on Millennium and
+	     Millennium II. Specify this if you see strange color shadows
+	     around  characters.
+noinv24      use standard timings. It is the default.
+inverse      invert colors on screen (for LCD displays)
+noinverse    show true colors on screen. It is default.
+dev:X        bind driver to device X. Driver numbers device from 0 up to N,
+	     where device 0 is first `known` device found, 1 second and so on.
+	     lspci lists devices in this order.
+	     Default is `every` known device.
+nohwcursor   disables hardware cursor (use software cursor instead).
+hwcursor     enables hardware cursor. It is default. If you are using
+	     non-accelerated mode (`noaccel` or `fbset -accel false`), software
+	     cursor is used (except for text mode).
+noblink      disables cursor blinking. Cursor in text mode always blinks (hw
+	     limitation).
+blink        enables cursor blinking. It is default.
+nofastfont   disables fastfont feature. It is default.
+fastfont:X   enables fastfont feature. X specifies size of memory reserved for
+	     font data, it must be >= (fontwidth*fontheight*chars_in_font)/8.
+	     It is faster on Gx00 series, but slower on older cards.
+grayscale    enable grayscale summing. It works in PSEUDOCOLOR modes (text,
+	     4bpp, 8bpp). In DIRECTCOLOR modes it is limited to characters
+	     displayed through putc/putcs. Direct accesses to framebuffer
+	     can paint colors.
+nograyscale  disable grayscale summing. It is default.
+cross4MB     enables that pixel line can cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+	     non-Millennium.
+nocross4MB   pixel line must not cross 4MB boundary. It is default for
+	     Millennium I or II, because of these devices have hardware
+	     limitations which do not allow this. But this option is
+	     incompatible with some (if not all yet released) versions of
+	     XF86_FBDev.
+dfp          enables digital flat panel interface. This option is incompatible
+	     with secondary (TV) output - if DFP is active, TV output must be
+	     inactive and vice versa. DFP always uses same timing as primary
+	     (monitor) output.
+dfp:X        use settings X for digital flat panel interface. X is number from
+	     0 to 0xFF, and meaning of each individual bit is described in
+	     G400 manual, in description of DAC register 0x1F. For normal
+	     operation you should set all bits to zero, except lowest bit. This
+	     lowest bit selects who is source of display clocks, whether G400,
+	     or panel. Default value is now read back from hardware - so you
+	     should specify this value only if you are also using `init`
+	     parameter.
+outputs:XYZ  set mapping between CRTC and outputs. Each letter can have value
+	     of 0 (for no CRTC), 1 (CRTC1) or 2 (CRTC2), and first letter
+	     corresponds to primary analog output, second letter to the
+	     secondary analog output and third letter to the DVI output.
+	     Default setting is 100 for cards below G400 or G400 without DFP,
+	     101 for G400 with DFP, and 111 for G450 and G550. You can set
+	     mapping only on first card, use matroxset for setting up other
+	     devices.
+vesa:X       selects startup videomode. X is number from 0 to 0x1FF, see table
+	     above for detailed explanation. Default is 640x480x8bpp if driver
+	     has 8bpp support. Otherwise first available of 640x350x4bpp,
+	     640x480x15bpp, 640x480x24bpp, 640x480x32bpp or 80x25 text
+	     (80x25 text is always available).
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you are not satisfied with videomode selected by `vesa` option, you
+can modify it with these options:
+
+============ ===================================================================
+xres:X       horizontal resolution, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+	     option.
+yres:X       vertical resolution, in pixel lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+	     option.
+upper:X      top boundary: lines between end of VSYNC pulse and start of first
+	     pixel line of picture. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+lower:X      bottom boundary: lines between end of picture and start of VSYNC
+	     pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+vslen:X      length of VSYNC pulse, in lines. Default is derived from `vesa`
+	     option.
+left:X       left boundary: pixels between end of HSYNC pulse and first pixel.
+	     Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+right:X      right boundary: pixels between end of picture and start of HSYNC
+	     pulse. Default is derived from `vesa` option.
+hslen:X      length of HSYNC pulse, in pixels. Default is derived from `vesa`
+	     option.
+pixclock:X   dotclocks, in ps (picoseconds). Default is derived from `vesa`
+	     option and from `fh` and `fv` options.
+sync:X       sync. pulse - bit 0 inverts HSYNC polarity, bit 1 VSYNC polarity.
+	     If bit 3 (value 0x08) is set, composite sync instead of HSYNC is
+	     generated. If bit 5 (value 0x20) is set, sync on green is turned
+	     on. Do not forget that if you want sync on green, you also probably
+	     want composite sync.
+	     Default depends on `vesa`.
+depth:X      Bits per pixel: 0=text, 4,8,15,16,24 or 32. Default depends on
+	     `vesa`.
+============ ===================================================================
+
+If you know capabilities of your monitor, you can specify some (or all) of
+`maxclk`, `fh` and `fv`. In this case, `pixclock` is computed so that
+pixclock <= maxclk, real_fh <= fh and real_fv <= fv.
+
+============ ==================================================================
+maxclk:X     maximum dotclock. X can be specified in MHz, kHz or Hz. Default is
+	     `don`t care`.
+fh:X         maximum horizontal synchronization frequency. X can be specified
+	     in kHz or Hz. Default is `don't care`.
+fv:X         maximum vertical frequency. X must be specified in Hz. Default is
+	     70 for modes derived from `vesa` with yres <= 400, 60Hz for
+	     yres > 400.
+============ ==================================================================
+
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+There are known and unknown bugs, features and misfeatures.
+Currently there are following known bugs:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit
+ - generic fbcon-cfbX procedures do not work on Alphas. Due to this,
+   `noaccel` (and cfb4 accel) driver does not work on Alpha. So everyone
+   with access to `/dev/fb*` on Alpha can hang machine (you should restrict
+   access to `/dev/fb*` - everyone with access to this device can destroy
+   your monitor, believe me...).
+ - 24bpp does not support correctly XF-FBDev on big-endian architectures.
+ - interlaced text mode is not supported; it looks like hardware limitation,
+   but I'm not sure.
+ - Gxx0 SGRAM/SDRAM is not autodetected.
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following misfeatures:
+
+ - SVGALib does not restore screen on exit.
+ - pixclock for text modes is limited by hardware to
+
+    - 83 MHz on G200
+    - 66 MHz on Millennium I
+    - 60 MHz on Millennium II
+
+   Because I have no access to other devices, I do not know specific
+   frequencies for them. So driver does not check this and allows you to
+   set frequency higher that this. It causes sparks, black holes and other
+   pretty effects on screen. Device was not destroyed during tests. :-)
+ - my Millennium G200 oscillator has frequency range from 35 MHz to 380 MHz
+   (and it works with 8bpp on about 320 MHz dotclocks (and changed mclk)).
+   But Matrox says on product sheet that VCO limit is 50-250 MHz, so I believe
+   them (maybe that chip overheats, but it has a very big cooler (G100 has
+   none), so it should work).
+ - special mixed video/graphics videomodes of Mystique and Gx00 - 2G8V16 and
+   G16V16 are not supported
+ - color keying is not supported
+ - feature connector of Mystique and Gx00 is set to VGA mode (it is disabled
+   by BIOS)
+ - DDC (monitor detection) is supported through dualhead driver
+ - some check for input values are not so strict how it should be (you can
+   specify vslen=4000 and so on).
+ - maybe more...
+
+And following features:
+
+ - 4bpp is available only on Millennium I and Millennium II. It is hardware
+   limitation.
+ - selection between 1:5:5:5 and 5:6:5 16bpp videomode is done by -rgba
+   option of fbset: "fbset -depth 16 -rgba 5,5,5" selects 1:5:5:5, anything
+   else selects 5:6:5 mode.
+ - text mode uses 6 bit VGA palette instead of 8 bit (one of 262144 colors
+   instead of one of 16M colors). It is due to hardware limitation of
+   Millennium I/II and SVGALib compatibility.
+
+
+Benchmarks
+==========
+It is time to redraw whole screen 1000 times in 1024x768, 60Hz. It is
+time for draw 6144000 characters on screen through /dev/vcsa
+(for 32bpp it is about 3GB of data (exactly 3000 MB); for 8x16 font in
+16 seconds, i.e. 187 MBps).
+Times were obtained from one older version of driver, now they are about 3%
+faster, it is kernel-space only time on P-II/350 MHz, Millennium I in 33 MHz
+PCI slot, G200 in AGP 2x slot. I did not test vgacon::

+
+Dualhead G400
+=============
+Driver supports dualhead G400 with some limitations:
+ + secondary head shares videomemory with primary head. It is not problem
+   if you have 32MB of videoram, but if you have only 16MB, you may have
+   to think twice before choosing videomode (for example twice 1880x1440x32bpp
+   is not possible).
+ + due to hardware limitation, secondary head can use only 16 and 32bpp
+   videomodes.
+ + secondary head is not accelerated. There were bad problems with accelerated

+Dualhead G450
+=============
+Driver supports dualhead G450 with some limitations:
+ + secondary head shares videomemory with primary head. It is not problem
+   if you have 32MB of videoram, but if you have only 16MB, you may have
+   to think twice before choosing videomode.
