EndSection DESCRIPTIONvga is an XFree86 driver for generic VGA video cards. It can drive most VGA-compatible video cards, but only makes use of the basic standard VGA core that is common to these cards. The driver supports depths 1, 4 and 8. All relevant visual types are supported at each depth. Multi-head configurations are supported in combination with some other drivers, but only when the vga driver is driving the primary head.SUPPORTED HARDWAREThe vga driver supports most VGA-compatible video cards. There are some known exceptions, and those should be listed here.CONFIGURATION DETAILSPlease refer to XF86Config(5x) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.The driver auto-detects the presence of VGA-compatible hardware. The ChipSet name may optionally be specified in the config file N'34'DeviceN'34' section, and will override the auto-detection:
The driver will only use 64k of video memory for depth 1 and depth 8 operation, and 256k of video memory for depth 4 (this is the standard VGA limit). When operating at depth 8, only a single built-in 320x200 video mode is available. At other depths there is more flexibility regarding mode choice. The following driver Options are supported:
