NAME
     apm - Alliance ProMotion video driver

SYNOPSIS

     EndSection

DESCRIPTION
     apm is an Xorg driver for Alliance  ProMotion  video  cards.
     The  driver is accelerated for supported hardware/depth com-
     bination. It supports framebuffer depths of 8,  15,  16,  24
     and 32 bits. For 6420, 6422, AT24, AT3D and AT25, all depths
     are fully accelerated except 24 bpp for which only screen to
     screen copy and rectangle filling is accelerated.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
     The apm driver supports PCI and ISA video cards on the  fol-
     lowing Alliance ProMotion chipsets

     ProMotion 6420

     ProMotion 6422

     AT24

     AT3D

     AT25

CONFIGURATION DETAILS
     Please  refer  to  xorg.conf(4)  for  general  configuration
     details.   This  section  only  covers configuration details
     specific to this driver.

     The driver auto-detects the chipset type, but the  following
     ChipSet names may optionally be specified in the config file
     "Device" section, and will override the auto-detection:

         "6422", "at24", "at3d".

         The AT25 is Chipset "at3d" and the 6420 is 6422.

         The driver will auto-detect the amount of  video  memory
         present for all chips. The actual amount of video memory
         can also be specified with a VideoRam entry in the  con-
         fig file "Device" section.

         The following driver Options are supported:

         Option "HWCursor" "boolean"
              Enable or disable the  hardware  cursor.   Default:
              on.

         Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
              Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: accelera-
              tion is enabled.

         Option "NoLinear" "boolean"
              Disable or  enable  use  of  linear  frame  buffer.
              Default: on.  Note: it may or may not work. Tell me
              if you need it.

         Option "PciRetry" "boolean"
              Enable or disable PCI retries.  Default: off.

         Option "Remap_DPMS_On" "string"

         Option "Remap_DPMS_Standby" "string"

         Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "string"

         Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "string"
              Remaps the corresponding DPMS  events.  I've  found
              that  my  Hercules  128/3D  swaps  Off  and Suspend
              events. You can correct that with
                   Option "Remap_DPMS_Suspend" "Off"
                   Option "Remap_DPMS_Off" "Suspend"
              in the Device section of the config file.

              Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
                   Force the software cursor.  Default: off.

              Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
                   Enable or disable use  of  the  shadow  frame-
                   buffer layer.  Default: off.
