201 | [Configure viafb via /proc] | ||
202 | --------------------------- | ||
203 | The following files exist in /proc/viafb | ||
204 | |||
205 | supported_output_devices | ||
206 | |||
207 | This read-only file contains a full ',' seperated list containing all | ||
208 | output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely | ||
209 | that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should | ||
210 | provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match | ||
211 | a real connector. | ||
212 | Example: | ||
213 | # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices | ||
214 | |||
215 | iga1/output_devices | ||
216 | iga2/output_devices | ||
217 | |||
218 | These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two | ||
219 | independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be | ||
220 | forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way | ||
221 | to query which output devices are currently used by an iga. | ||
222 | Example: | ||
223 | # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices | ||
224 | If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost. | ||
225 | This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used. | ||
226 | Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during | ||
227 | runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch | ||
228 | between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' seperated list of device | ||
229 | names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those | ||
230 | files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition | ||
231 | and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list | ||
232 | to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the | ||
233 | existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones | ||
234 | with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn | ||
235 | off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are | ||
236 | removed there and added to the new one. | ||
237 | Examples: | ||
238 | Add CRT as output device to iga1 | ||
239 | # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices | ||
240 | |||
241 | Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2 | ||
242 | # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices | ||
243 | |||
244 | Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT | ||
245 | # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices | ||
246 | |||
