CONFIGURATION DETAILS

28       Please refer to @xconfigfile@(@filemansuffix@) for  general  configura‐
29       tion  details.  This section only covers configuration details specific
30       to this driver.
31
32       For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the screen  sec‐
33       tion  of  the config file.  The modesetting driver can pick up the cur‐
34       rently used video mode from the kernel driver and will use it if  there
35       are no video modes configured.
36
37       For  PCI  boards  you might have to add a BusID line to the Device sec‐
38       tion.  See above for a sample line.
39
40       The following driver Options are supported:
41
42       Option "SWcursor" "boolean"
43              Selects software cursor.  The default is off.
44
45       Option "kmsdev" "string"
46              The framebuffer device to use. Default: /dev/dri/card0.
47
48       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
49              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default:

59              Specify  the  RandR output(s) to use with zaphod mode for a par‐
60              ticular driver instance.  If you use this option  you  must  use
61              this option for all instances of the driver.
