DESCRIPTION
       neomagic is an Xorg driver for the Neomagic graphics chipsets found in many laptop computers.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       neomagic supports the following chipsets:

       MagicGraph 128    (NM2070)

       MagicGraph 128V   (NM2090)

       MagicGraph 128ZV  (NM2093)

       MagicGraph 128ZV+ (NM2097)

       MagicGraph 128XD  (NM2160)

       MagicGraph 256AV  (NM2200)

       MagicGraph 256AV+ (NM2230)

       MagicGraph 256ZX  (NM2360)

       MagicGraph 256XL+ (NM2380)

       The  driver  supports  depths  8,  15, 16 and 24 for all chipsets except the NM2070 which does not support depth 24.  All
       depths are accelerated except for depth 24 which is only accelerated on NM2200 and newer models.  All  visuals  are  sup-
       ported in depth 8.  TrueColor and DirectColor visuals are supported in the other depths.


CONFIGURATION DETAILS
       Please  refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details.  This section only covers configuration details specific
       to this driver.

       The following driver Options are supported

       Option "NoAccel" "boolean"
              Disable or enable acceleration.  Default: acceleration is enabled.

       Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
              Disable or enable software cursor.  Default: software cursor is disable and a hardware cursor is used.

       Option "PCIBurst" "boolean"
              Disable or enable PCI burst modes.  Default: enabled.

       Option "Rotate" "CW"

       Option "Rotate" "CCW"
              Rotate the display clockwise or counterclockwise.  This mode is unaccelerated.  Default: no rotation.

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
              Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.  Default: off.

       Option "OverlayMem" "integer"
              Reserve the given amount of memory (in bytes) for the XVideo overlay.  On boards with limited memory,  display  of
              large XVideo buffers might fail due to insufficient available memory.  Using this option solves the problem at the
              expense of reducing the memory available for other operations.  For full-resolution DVDs, 829440 bytes (720x576x2)
              are necessary.

       Note
       On  some  laptops  using  the  2160 chipset (MagicGraph 128XD) the following options are needed to avoid a lock-up of the
       graphic engine:
           Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect"
           Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill"
