-Enable AGP fast writes. Enabling this is frequently the cause of
-instability. Used only when the DRI is enabled. If you enable
-this option you will get *NO* support from developers.
-.br
-The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qBusType\*q \*q" string \*q
-Used to replace previous ForcePCIMode option.
-Should only be used when driver's bus detection is incorrect
-or you want to force an AGP card to PCI mode. You should NEVER force
-a PCI card to AGP bus.

-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDisplayPriority\*q \*q" string \*q
-.br
-Used to prevent flickering or tearing problem caused by display buffer underflow.
-.br
-AUTO \-\- Driver calculated (default).
-.br
-BIOS \-\- Remain unchanged from BIOS setting.
- Use this if the calculation is not correct
- for your card.
-.br
-HIGH \-\- Force to the highest priority.
- Use this if you have problem with above options.
- This may affect performance slightly.
-.br
-The default value is
-.B AUTO.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qColorTiling\*q \*q" "boolean" \*q
-The framebuffer can be addressed either in linear or tiled mode. Tiled mode can provide
-significant performance benefits with 3D applications. For 2D it shouldn't matter
-much. Tiling will be disabled if the virtual x resolution exceeds 2048 (3968 for R300
-and above), or if DRI is enabled and the drm module is too old.
-.br
-If this option is enabled, a new DRI driver is required for direct rendering.
-.br
-Color tiling will be automatically disabled in interlaced or doublescan screen modes.
-.br
-The default value is
-.B on.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qIgnoreEDID\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Do not use EDID data for mode validation. DDC is still used
-for monitor detection. This is different from NoDDC option.
-.br
-The default value is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qCustomEDID\*q \*q" string \*q
-Forces the X driver to use the EDID data specified in a file rather
-than the display's EDID. Also overrides DDC monitor detection.
-.br
-You may specify a semicolon-separated list of output name and filename pairs
-with an optional flag, "digital" or "analog", to override the digital bit in
-the EDID which is used by the driver to determine whether to use the
-analog or digital encoder associated with a DVI-I port.
-The output name is the RandR output name, e.g., "VGA-0" or "DVI-0";
-consult the Xorg log for the supported output names of any given system.
-.br
-The file must contain a raw 128-byte EDID block, as captured by
-.B
-get-edid.
-.br
-For example:
-.B
-Option \*qCustomEDID\*q \*qVGA-0:/tmp/edid1.bin; DVI-0:/tmp/edid2.bin:digital\*q
-will assign the EDID from the file /tmp/edid1.bin to the output device
-VGA-0, and the EDID from the file /tmp/edid2.bin to the output device
-DVI-0 and force the DVI port to use the digital encoder.
-.br
-Note that an output name must always be specified,
-even if only one EDID is specified.
-.br
-.B
-Caution:
-Specifying an EDID that doesn't exactly match your display may
-damage your hardware, as it allows the driver to specify timings beyond
-the capabilities of your display. Use with care.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qPanelSize\*q \*q" "string" \*q
-Should only be used when driver cannot detect the correct panel size.
-Apply to both desktop (TMDS) and laptop (LVDS) digital panels.
-When a valid panel size is specified, the timings collected from
-DDC and BIOS will not be used. If you have a panel with timings
-different from that of a standard VESA mode, you have to provide
-this information through the Modeline.
-.br
-For example, Option "PanelSize" "1400x1050"
-.br
-The default value is
-.B none.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qEnablePageFlip\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable page flipping for 3D acceleration. This will increase performance
-but not work correctly in some rare cases, hence the default is
-.B off.
-It is currently only supported on R/RV/RS4xx and older hardware.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qForceMinDotClock\*q \*q" frequency \*q
-Override minimum dot clock. Some Radeon BIOSes report a minimum dot
-clock unsuitable (too high) for use with television sets even when they
-actually can produce lower dot clocks. If this is the case you can
-override the value here.
-.B Note that using this option may damage your hardware.
-You have been warned. The
-.B frequency
-parameter may be specified as a float value with standard suffixes like
-"k", "kHz", "M", "MHz".
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qRenderAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enables or disables hardware Render acceleration. It is supported on all
-Radeon cards when using EXA acceleration and on Radeon R/RV/RS1xx,
-R/RV/RS2xx and RS3xx when using XAA. The default is to
-.B enable
-Render acceleration.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qAccelMethod\*q \*q" "string" \*q
-Chooses between available acceleration architectures. Valid options are
-.B XAA
-and
-.B EXA.
-XAA is the traditional acceleration architecture and support for it is very
-stable. EXA is a newer acceleration architecture with better performance for
-the Render and Composite extensions. The default is
-.B EXA.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qAccelDFS\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Use or don't use accelerated EXA DownloadFromScreen hook when possible (only
-when Direct Rendering is enabled, e.g.).
-Default:
-.B off
-with AGP due to issues with GPU->host transfers with some AGP bridges,
-.B on
-otherwise.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qFBTexPercent\*q \*q" integer \*q
-Amount of video RAM to reserve for OpenGL textures, in percent. With EXA, the
-remainder of video RAM is reserved for EXA offscreen management. Specifying 0
-results in all offscreen video RAM being reserved for EXA and only GART memory
-being available for OpenGL textures. This may improve EXA performance, but
-beware that it may cause problems with OpenGL drivers from Mesa versions older
-than 6.4. With XAA, specifying lower percentage than what gets reserved without
-this option has no effect, but the driver tries to increase the video RAM
-reserved for textures to the amount specified roughly.
-Default:
-.B 50.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDepthBits\*q \*q" integer \*q
-Precision in bits per pixel of the shared depth buffer used for 3D acceleration.
-Valid values are 16 and 24. When this is 24, there will also be a hardware
-accelerated stencil buffer, but the combined depth/stencil buffer will take up
-twice as much video RAM as when it's 16.
-Default:
-.B The same as the screen depth.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDMAForXv\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Try or don't try to use DMA for Xv image transfers. This will reduce CPU
-usage when playing big videos like DVDs, but may cause instabilities.
-Default:
-.B on.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qSubPixelOrder\*q \*q" "string" \*q
-Force subpixel order to specified order.
-Subpixel order is used for subpixel decimation on flat panels.
-.br
-NONE \-\- No subpixel (CRT like displays)
-.br
-RGB \-\- in horizontal RGB order (most flat panels)
-.br
-BGR \-\- in horizontal BGR order (some flat panels)
-
-.br
-This option is intended to be used in following cases:
-.br
-1. The default subpixel order is incorrect for your panel.
-.br
-2. Enable subpixel decimation on analog panels.
-.br
-3. Adjust to one display type in dual-head clone mode setup.
-.br
-4. Get better performance with Render acceleration on
-digital panels (use NONE setting).
-.br
-The default is
-.B NONE
-for CRT,
-.B RGB
-for digital panels
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qClockGating\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable dynamic clock gating. This can help reduce heat and increase battery
-life by reducing power usage. Some users report reduced 3D performance
-with this enabled. The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qForceLowPowerMode\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable a static low power mode. This can help reduce heat and increase battery
-life by reducing power usage at the expense of performance. The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDynamicPM\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable dynamic power mode switching. This can help reduce heat and increase battery
-life by reducing power usage when the system is idle (DPMS active). The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qVGAAccess\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Tell the driver if it can do legacy VGA IOs to the card. This is
-necessary for properly resuming consoles when in VGA text mode, but
-shouldn't be if the console is using radeonfb or some other graphic
-mode driver. Some platforms like PowerPC have issues with those, and they aren't
-necessary unless you have a real text mode in console. The default is
-.B off
-on PowerPC and SPARC and
-.B on
-on other architectures.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qReverseDDC\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-When BIOS connector information isn't available, use this option to
-reverse the mapping of the two main DDC ports. Use this if the X server
-obviously detects the wrong display for each connector. This is
-typically needed on the Radeon 9600 cards bundled with Apple G5s. The
-default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qLVDSProbePLL\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-When BIOS panel information isn't available (like on PowerBooks), it
-may still be necessary to use the firmware-provided PLL values for the
-panel or flickering will happen. This option will force probing of
-the current value programmed in the chip when X is launched in that
-case. This is only useful for LVDS panels (laptop internal panels).
-The default is
-.B on.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qTVDACLoadDetect\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable load detection on the TV DAC. The TV DAC is used to drive both
-TV-out and analog monitors. Load detection is often unreliable in the
-TV DAC so it is disabled by default.
-The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDefaultTMDSPLL\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Use the default driver provided TMDS PLL values rather than the ones
-provided by the BIOS. This option has no effect on Mac cards. Enable
-this option if you are having problems with a DVI monitor using the
-internal TMDS controller.
-The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDefaultTVDACAdj\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Use the default driver provided TVDAC Adj values rather than the ones
-provided by the BIOS. This option has no effect on Mac cards. Enable
-this option if you are having problems with a washed out display on
-the secondary DAC.
-The default is
-.B off.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDRI\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable DRI support. This option allows you to enable to disable the DRI.
-The default is
-.B off
-for RN50/ES1000 and
-.B on
-for others.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDefaultConnectorTable\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable this option to skip the BIOS connector table parsing and use the
-driver defaults for each chip.
-The default is
-.B off
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qMacModel\*q \*q" string \*q
-.br
-Used to specify Mac models for connector tables and quirks. If you have
-a PowerBook or Mini with DVI that does not work properly, try the alternate
-options as Apple does not seem to provide a good way of knowing whether
-they use internal or external TMDS for DVI. Only valid on PowerPC.
-On Linux, the driver will attempt to detect the MacModel automatically.
