[PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core
This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core. Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core would break support for one of the other supported chips. Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be almost unmaintainable. A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes requested by Antonino A. Daplas. A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected. This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and linux-fbdev-devel, Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Cc: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> Acked-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Untested features
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
All LCD stuff is untested. If it worked in tridentfb, it should work in
|
||||
cyblafb. Please test and report the results to Knut_Petersen@t-online.de.

Apollo PLE 133 Chipset VT8601A North Bridge Datasheet, Rev. 1.82, October 22,

2001, available from VIA:

http://www.viavpsd.com/product/6/15/DS8601A182.pdf
|

|

The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
|
||||
explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
|
||||
need the datasheet to understand the code. "p. xxx" comments refer to page
|
||||
numbers of this document.
|
||||
|
||||
XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
|
||||
there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
|
||||
or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.

# Sample fb.modes file

# The value 4294967256 is used instead of -40. Of course, -40 is not

# a really reasonable value, but chip design does not always follow

|

# fbset requires 4294967256 in fb.modes and -40 as an argument to

# the -t parameter. That's also not too reasonable, and it might change

# in the future or might even be differt for your current version.

TODO / Missing features
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are
|
||||
completely untested ... this code needs to be
|
||||
verified. As I don't have access to such
|
||||
hardware, please contact me if you are
|
||||
willing run some tests.
|
||||
|
||||
Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved
|
||||
modes are disabled is that I do not know
|
||||
the meaning of the vertical interlace
|
||||
parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
|
||||
bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
|
||||
but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
|
||||
if you can.
|
||||
|
||||
low-res double scan modes Who needs it?
|
||||
|
||||
accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color
|
||||
blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
|
||||
everything else is done using color expanding
|

blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.

CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
|
||||
into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
|
||||
tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
|
||||
|
||||
Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
|
||||
==================================================
|
||||
|
||||
You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
|
||||
kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
|
||||
cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
|
||||
developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
|
||||
usefull memory for ordinary users.
|
||||
|
||||
Selecting Modes
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Startup Mode
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
|
||||
documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
|
||||
mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
|
||||
inspecting the hardware registers.
|
||||
|
||||
video=cyblafb vga=0x317
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
|
||||
parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
|
||||
like this to the kernel command line:
|
||||
|
||||
video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
|
||||
|
||||
If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
|
||||
selected by the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
|
||||
|
||||
None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
|
||||
the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
|
||||
|
||||
Mode changes using fbset
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
|
||||
generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
|
||||
some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
|
||||
damaging your hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
- only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
|
||||
- interlaced video modes are not accepted
|
||||
- double scan video modes are not accepted
|
||||
- if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
|
||||
to program a resolution higher than the physical
|
||||
resolution of the flat panel monitor
|
||||
- cyblafb does not allow xres to differ from xres_virtual
|
||||
- cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
|
||||
and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
|
||||
the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
|
||||
modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
|
||||
|
||||
Any request that violates the rules given above will be ignored and
|
||||
fbset will return an error.
|
||||
|
||||
If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
|
||||
cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
|
||||
value.
|
||||
|
||||
Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
|
||||
the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
|
||||
you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
|
||||
much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
|
||||
Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
|
||||
official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
|
||||
out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
|
||||
give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
|
||||
mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
|
||||
report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
|
||||
above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
|
||||
verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
|
||||
would be needed to program that mode using fbset.
|
||||

||||
Other Parameters
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
crt don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
|
||||
standard VGA connector
|
||||
|
||||
fp don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
|
||||
connected to flat panel monitor interface
|
||||
|
||||
nativex inform driver about native x resolution of
|
||||
flat panel monitor connected to special
|
||||
interface (should be autodetected)
|
||||
|
||||
stretch stretch image to adapt low resolution modes to
|
||||
higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
|
||||
connected to special interface
|
||||
|
||||
center center image to adapt low resolution modes to
|
||||
higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
|
||||
connected to special interface
|
||||
|
||||
memsize use if autodetected memsize is wrong ...
|
||||
should never be necessary
|
||||
|
||||
nopcirr disable PCI read retry
|
||||
nopciwr disable PCI write retry
|
||||
nopcirb disable PCI read bursts
|
||||
nopciwb disable PCI write bursts
|
||||
|
||||
bpp bpp for specified modes
|
||||
valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
|
||||
|
||||
ref refresh rate for specified mode
|
||||
valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
|
||||
|
||||
mode 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
|
||||
if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
|
||||
and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
|
||||
described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
|
||||
bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
verbosity 0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
|
||||
bug report!
|
||||
|
||||
vesafb allows cyblafb to be loaded after vesafb has been
|
||||
loaded. See sections "Module unloading ...".

||||

|
||||
Development hints
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
|
||||
unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
|
||||
try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
|
||||
In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
|
||||
you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
|
||||
kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
|
||||
mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
|
||||
of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
|
||||
system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
|
||||
yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Module unloading, the vfb method
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
|
||||
to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
|
||||
shown below:
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
|
||||
modprobe fbcon
|
||||
modprobe cyblafb
|
||||
fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
|
||||
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
|
||||
as show below:
|
||||
|
||||
con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
|
||||
...
|
||||
rmmod cyblafb
|
||||
modprobe cyblafb
|
||||
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
|
||||
map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
|
||||
to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
|
||||
framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then
|
||||
please add a description here!]
|
||||
|
||||
Module unloading, the vesafb method
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
Configure the kernel:
|
||||
|
||||
<*> Support for frame buffer devices
|
||||
[*] VESA VGA graphics support
|
||||
<M> Cyberblade/i1 support
|
||||
|
||||
Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
|
||||
parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
|
||||
a graphics mode.
|
||||
|
||||
After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
|
||||
cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe cyblafb vesafb=1
|
||||
con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
|
||||
|
||||
Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
|
||||
ttys again, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
|
||||
rmmod cyblafb
|
||||

||||

I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
|
||||
|
||||
- TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
|
||||
graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
|
||||
number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
|
||||
unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
|
||||
for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
|
||||
advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
|
||||
|
||||
- VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
|
||||
not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
|
||||
configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
|
||||
use ypan.
|
||||
|
||||
- EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
|
||||
graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
|
||||
to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
|
||||
do need this feature, try epiafb.
|
||||
|
||||
None of these drivers was a real option for me.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
|
||||
devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
|
||||
of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
|
||||
|
||||
So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
|
||||
|
||||
All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
|
||||
were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
|
||||
register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
|
||||
and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
|
||||
|
||||
After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
|
||||
give a little summary of the main changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
|
||||
|
||||
- video signal quality has been improved dramatically
|
||||
|
||||
- acceleration:
|
||||
|
||||
- fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
|
||||
|
||||
- color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
|
||||
imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
|
||||
generic code.
|
||||
|
||||
- init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
|
||||
place where it really works ...
|
||||
|
||||
- sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
|
||||
reinit the accel engine if necessary
|
||||
|
||||
- fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
|
||||
undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
|
||||
CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
|
||||
|
||||
- cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
|
||||
values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
|
||||
multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
|
||||
pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
|
||||
for 32 bpp modes.
|
||||
|
||||
- cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
|
||||
interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
|
||||
|
||||
- cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
|
||||
time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
|
||||
values)
|
||||
|
||||
- switching between video modes does work reliably now
|
||||
|
||||
- the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
|
||||
vga=???? mechanism or any of
|
||||
- 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
|
||||
- 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
|
||||
- refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
|
||||
is limited to 63Hz)
|
||||
|
||||
- pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
|
||||
experience latency problems)
|
||||
|
||||
- built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
|
||||
the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb
