|
|
|
|
+---------------------------
|
|
|
|
+ The following files exist in /proc/viafb
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ supported_output_devices
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ This read-only file contains a full ',' seperated list containing all
|
|
|
|
+ output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely
|
|
|
|
+ that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should
|
|
|
|
+ provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match
|
|
|
|
+ a real connector.
|
|
|
|
+ Example:
|
|
|
|
+ # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
+ iga2/output_devices
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two
|
|
|
|
+ independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be
|
|
|
|
+ forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way
|
|
|
|
+ to query which output devices are currently used by an iga.
|
|
|
|
+ Example:
|
|
|
|
+ # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
+ If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost.
|
|
|
|
+ This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used.
|
|
|
|
+ Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during
|
|
|
|
+ runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch
|
|
|
|
+ between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' seperated list of device
|
|
|
|
+ names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those
|
|
|
|
+ files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition
|
|
|
|
+ and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list
|
|
|
|
+ to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the
|
|
|
|
+ existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones
|
|
|
|
+ with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn
|
|
|
|
+ off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are
|
|
|
|
+ removed there and added to the new one.
|
|
|
|
+ Examples:
|
|
|
|
+ Add CRT as output device to iga1
|
|
|
|
+ # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2
|
|
|
|
+ # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT
|
|
|
|
+ # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices
|
