xorg-video-intel: Update man page to document LVDS24Bit option From: Mike Isely This is a companion to the driver patch that implements 24 bit pixel format; it adds corresponding documentation to the driver man page. Signed-off-by: Mike Isely --- Note: This patch was composed against the 2.2.1 driver as patch in Debian 2.2.1-1. However it should apply reasonably well against the upstream tree (I hope). man/intel.man | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) Index: man/intel.man =================================================================== --- man/intel.man (.../patch-lvds24bit) (revision 45) +++ man/intel.man (.../patch-man-lvds24bit) (revision 45) @@ -182,6 +182,23 @@ causing a crash.

Some newer LCD panels expect pixels to be formatted and +sent as 8 bits per color channel instead of the more common 6 bits per +color channel. Set this option to true to enable the newer format. +Note that this concept is entirely different and independent from the +frame buffer color depth - which is still controlled in the usual way +within the X server. This option instead selects the physical format +/ sequencing of the digital bits sent to the display. Setting the +frame buffer color depth is really a matter of preference by the user, +while setting the pixel format here is a requirement of the connected +hardware. Leaving this unset implies the default value of false, +which is almost always going to be right choice. If your +LVDS-connected display on the other hand is extremely washed out +(e.g. white on a lighter white), trying this option might clear the +problem. .SH OUTPUT CONFIGURATION On 830M and better chipsets, the driver supports runtime configuration of
