-CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
-into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
-tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
-
-Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
-==================================================
-
-You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
-kernel.
-
-Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
-cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
-developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
-usefull memory for ordinary users.
-
-Selecting Modes
-===============
-
-	Startup Mode
-	============
-
-	First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
-	documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
-	mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
-	inspecting the hardware registers.
-
-		video=cyblafb vga=0x317
-
-	Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
-	parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
-	like this to the kernel command line:
-
-		video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
-
-	If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
-	selected by the following command:
-
-		modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
-
-	None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
-	the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
-
-	For all startup modes cyblafb chooses a virtual x resolution of 2048,
-	the only exception is mode 1280x1024 in combination with 32 bpp. This
-	allows ywrap scrolling for all those modes if rotation is 0 or 2, and
-	also fast scrolling if rotation is 1 or 3. The default virtual y reso-
-	lution is 4096 for bpp == 8, 2048 for bpp==16 and 1024 for bpp == 32,
-	again with the only exception of 1280x1024 at 32 bpp.
-
-	Please do set your video memory size to 8 Mb in the Bios setup. Other
-	values will work, but performace is decreased for a lot of modes.
-
-	Mode changes using fbset
-	========================
-
-	You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
-	generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
-	some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
-	damaging your hardware.
-
-		- only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
-		- interlaced video modes are not accepted
-		- double scan video modes are not accepted
-		- if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
-		  to program a resolution higher than the physical
-		  resolution of the flat panel monitor
-		- cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
-		  and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
-		  the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
-		  modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
-		- cyblafb will allow you to select very high resolutions as
-		  long as the hardware can be programmed to these modes. The
-		  documented limit 1600x1200 is not enforced, but don't expect
-		  perfect signal quality.
-
-	Any request that violates the rules given above will be either changed
-	to something the hardware supports or an error value will be returned.
-
-	If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
-	cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
-	value. The same is true for a virtual x resolution that is not
-	supported by the hardware. Cyblafb tries to adapt vyres first because
-	vxres decides if ywrap scrolling is possible or not.
-
-	Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored, I believe that this is
-	safe.
-
-	Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
-	the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
-	you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
-	much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
-	Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
-	official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
-	out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
-	give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
-	mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
-	report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
-	above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
-	verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
-	would be needed to program that mode using fbset.

-Other Parameters
-================
-
-
-crt		don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
-		standard VGA connector
-
-fp		don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
-		connected to flat panel monitor interface
-
-nativex 	inform driver about native x resolution of
-		flat panel monitor connected to special
-		interface (should be autodetected)
-
-stretch 	stretch image to adapt low resolution modes to
-		higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
-		connected to special interface
-
-center		center image to adapt low resolution modes to
-		higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
-		connected to special interface
-
-memsize 	use if autodetected memsize is wrong ...
-		should never be necessary
-
-nopcirr 	disable PCI read retry
-nopciwr 	disable PCI write retry
-nopcirb 	disable PCI read bursts
-nopciwb 	disable PCI write bursts
-
-bpp		bpp for specified modes
-		valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
-
-ref		refresh rate for specified mode
-		valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
-
-mode		640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
-		if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
-		and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
-		described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
-		bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
-
-verbosity	0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
-		bug report!
-
-Development hints
-=================
-
-It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
-unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
-try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
-In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
-you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
-kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
-mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
-of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
-system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
-yourself.
-
-Module unloading, the vfb method
-================================
-
-If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
-to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
-shown below:
-
-	modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
-	modprobe fbcon
-	modprobe cyblafb
-	fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
-	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
-	...
-
-If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
-as show below:
-
-	con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
-	...
-	rmmod cyblafb
-	modprobe cyblafb
-	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
-	...
-
-Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
-map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
-to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
-
-I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
-framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then
-please add a description here!]
-
-Module unloading, the vesafb method
-===================================
-
-Configure the kernel:
-
-	<*> Support for frame buffer devices
-	[*]   VESA VGA graphics support
-	<M>   Cyberblade/i1 support
-
-Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
-parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
-a graphics mode.
-
-After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
-cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
-
-	modprobe cyblafb
-	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
-
-Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
-ttys again, e.g.:
-
-	con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
-	rmmod cyblafb
