  1. Introduction:
  2. SM750 of Silicon MOtion is pci express display controller device.
  3. The SM750 embedded graphics features include:
  4. - dual display
  5. - 2D acceleration
  6. - 16MB integrated video memory
  7. About the kernel module parameter of driver:
  8. Use 1280,8bpp index color and 60 hz mode:
  9. insmod ./sm750fb.ko g_option="1280x1024-8@60"
  10. Disable MTRR,Disable 2d acceleration,Disable hardware cursor,
  11. and use a 800x600 mode :
  12. insmod ./sm750fb.ko g_option="noaccel:nomtrr:nohwc:800x600"
  13. dual frame buffer for driver with "dual" parameter
  14. insmod ./sm750fb.ko g_option="dual,800x600:1024x768"
  15. it will create fb0 and fb1 (or fb1,fb2 if fb0 already exist) under /dev
  16. and user can use con2fb to link fbX and ttyX
  17. Notes:
  18. 1) if you build the driver with built-in method, the parameter
  19. you edited in the grub config file will be also the
  20. same format as above modular method,but additionally add
  21. "video=sm750fb:"
  22. ahead of parameters,so,it looks like:
  23. video=sm750fb:noaccel,1280x1024@60,otherparam,etc...
  24. it equal to modular method with below command:
  25. insmod ./sm750fb.ko g_option="noaccel:1280x1024@60:otherparm:etc..."
  26. 2) if you put 800x600 into the parameter without bpp and
  27. refresh rate, kernel driver will defaulty use 16bpp and 60hz
  28. Important:
  29. if you have vesafb enabled in your config then /dev/fb0 will be created by vesafb
  30. and this driver will use fb1, fb2. In that case, you need to configure your X-server
  31. to use fb1. Another simple althernative is to disable vesafb from your config.
