- Added initial support for XGI chipsets (V3XT, V5, V8, Z7). Z7 and V5 are
untested. All features supported (Xv, HWCursor, DPMS, etc.). The binary
XGI DRI driver is not supported.
- Ported driver to EXA 0.1.0. Known problems still to solve at this time
are:
EXA's deinitialisation routine "DriverFini()" does not unwrap
pScreen->DestroyPixmap (and others), leading to a crash on machines
where the SWCursor is being used (SWCursor pixmaps are destroyed after
EXA has destroyed the offscreen memory manager).
EXA does not work correctly with 24bpp framebuffers. For some reason, all
pixmaps handed to the drawing primitives are 32bpp, despite the correct
24bpp-flag handed to xf86SetDepthBpp().
number of the DRIInfoRec, disambiguating it from the XF86DRI protocol
version number. Modify DRIQueryVersion to return the libdri version
number, which all DDXes were requesting implicitly. Fix the DDXes to
check for the DRIINFO version they were compiled against.
- Add SISCTRL extension
- Xv interface for SiSCtrl is now deprecated (will be removed soon)
- Remove useless GammaPreBrightness feature
- Fix LCD+TV mode for dual link panels
- Add support for LCD-via-CRT1 for 315PRO
- Add "TVBlueWorkAround" option
- Various minor fixes
change "foo.h" to <X11/foo.h> for core headers, e.g. X.h, Xpoll.h;
change "foo.h", "extensions/foo.h" and "X11/foo.h" to
<X11/extensions/foo.h> for extension headers, e.g. Xv.h;
change "foo.[ch]" to <X11/Xtrans/foo.[ch]> for Xtrans files.
- MergedFB/Xinerama: Added support for non-rectangular layouts (no panning
into dead areas, mouse restriced to accessible areas)
- MergedFB/Xinerama: Added support for RandR. Current window managers are
smart enough to update their Xinerama-info on RandR events. This
practically allows switching from dual-head operation to single-head
operation (by switching to a clone mode and simultaniously resizing the
desktop) and vice versa.
- MergedFB: Improved "physical alignment compensation" Offset by
disallowing panning and mouse movements into dead areas. (However,
RandR is disabled if that Offset is used.)
- MergedFB: Made identically looking MetaModes work with RandR. (by
supplying a fake rate.)
- Added "Reflect" feature: Reflect screen in x, y or x+y direction (Uses
shadow framebuffer; no accel, no Xv, no HWCursor.)
- Added aspect ratio detection for analog (VGA) devices. Produces different
default modes for 800x480, 1024x576, 1280x720,
1280x768 and 1280x800 depending on the aspect ratio. Options exist to
overrule this for each output device.
- Fixed FSTN support on SiS55x (for 320x240 xSTN panels)
- Workaround for SiS76x memory access latency issues if no local
framebuffer memory is present. Driver now allows only one video overlay
and assumes a quite restricted memory bandwidth. This chip is really
crippled. / If in hybrid mode, the driver only uses the LFB memory
(required changes in the video memory layout)
- Minor fix for machines with Trumpion Zurac LVDS scalers.
- Fixed bug in SaveScreen() causing a sig 11 sometimes.
- Added screen blanking for TV output
- Added two widescreen modes for PAL/NTSC TV output
- Numerous minor fixes and clean-ups.
- Numerous whitespace cleanups. Sorry for the noise.
- Fix off-by-one error in setting up offscreen-images
- Fix for retrieval of mode timing from BIOS for LCD
- Fix for DGA in MergedFB mode
- Code size reduction by more calculations, less tables
- ShadowFB uses fast memcpy (correctly) now
- Prefer user given modes over default ones
- Add ForcePanelRGB option
- Clean up option handling
- Add separate gamma correction/brightness for CRT2
- Add "offset" for MergedFB mode for allowing non-rectangular desktops
- Clean up and fix a off-by-one error in CRTC programming (old series)
- Fix low-resolution (xres <= 512) and doublescan user modes for CRT2
"XvSSECopy" to "UseSSE". Fix crash on machines with two or more
physical SiS cards. Enhanced logic to overrule monitor timings. Make
driver independent of vgaHW module. Use /dev/port instead of inX/outX
on ARM and MIPS (untested yet). Fix SiS301 panel misdetection (due to
very old, buggy BIOS). Clean up.
