CONFIGURATION DETAILS

28       Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration  details.   This
29       section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
30
31       For  this driver it is not required to specify modes in the screen sec‐
32       tion of the config file.  The modesetting driver can pick up  the  cur‐
33       rently  used video mode from the kernel driver and will use it if there
34       are no video modes configured.
35
36       For PCI boards you might have to add a BusID line to  the  Device  sec‐
37       tion.  See above for a sample line.
