SYNOPSIS
       Section "Device"
	 Identifier "devname"
	 Driver "savage"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION
       savage is an XFree86 driver for the S3 Savage family video
       accelerator chips.  The savage driver supports PCI and AGP
       boards with the following chips:

       Savage3D (8a20 and 8a21)

       Savage4	 (8a22)

       Savage2000      (9102)

       Savage/MX       (8c10 and 8c11)

       Savage/IX       (8c12 and 8c13)

       ProSavage PM133 (8a25)

       ProSavage KM133 (8a26)

CONFIGURATION DETAILS
       Please  refer  to  XF86Config(5) for general configuration
       details. This section only covers  configuration	 details
       specific to this driver.

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "HWCursor" "boolean"

       Option "SWCursor" "boolean"
	      These  two  options interact to specify hardware or
	      software cursor.	If the SWCursor option is  speci-
	      fied,  any  HWCursor  setting  is ignored.   Thus,
	      either "HWCursor off" or "SWCursor on"  will  force
	      the  use	of the software cursor. On Savage/MX and
	      Savage/IX chips which  are  connected  to LCDs,	a
	      software	cursor will be forced, because the Savage
	      hardware cursor does not correctly track the  auto-
	      matic  panel  expansion feature.	Default: hardware
	      cursor.

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

       Option "Rotate" "CW"

       Option "Rotate" "CCW"
	      Rotate the desktop 90 degrees clockwise or counter-
	      clockwise.  This option forces the ShadowFB  option
	      on,  and	disables acceleration.	Default: no rota-
	      tion.

       Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
	      Enable or disable use  of the  shadow  framebuffer
	      layer.   See  shadowfb(4) for further information.
	      This option disables acceleration.  Default: off.

       Option "UseBIOS" "boolean"
	      Enable or disable use of the video BIOS  to  change
	      modes.   Ordinarily, the savage driver tries to use
	      the video BIOS to do mode switches.  This generally
	      produces	the  best  results  with the mobile chips
	      (/MX and /IX), since the BIOS knows how  to  handle
	      the critical but unusual timing requirements of the
	      various LCD panels supported by the  chip.   To  do
	      this,  the  driver  searches  through the BIOS mode
	      list, looking  for  the  mode  which  most  closely
	      matches  the  XF86Config	mode  line.  Some purists
	      find  this  scheme  objectionable.   If  you  would
	      rather  have  the savage driver use your mode line
	      timing  exactly,	turn  off  the	UseBios option.
	      Default: on (use the BIOS).
