3 Acceleration

Contents of this section

The driver now fully accelerates screen-to-screen BITBLT operations at all color depths (8bpp, 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp). If you suspect a problem with this, use the "noaccel" option.

The hardware cursor is disabled by default. With unmodified mode timings, there used to be two horizontal lines and a band following the mouse pointer over the screen. The driver now automatically modifies the mode timing to eliminate this effect; this has not been tested on all possible configurations. Use the "hw_cursor" option to enable the hardware cursor.

Linear addressing is the default mode of operation. If the server does not start correctly, you may want to try the "no_linear" option.
