- Specifies the full path to smi7xx.conf, which is the configuration file for this driver. See smi7xx.conf for a list of parameters that can be configured.
Description:
The devg-smi7xx.so driver provides accelerated 2D support for the specified graphics chipset.
You can edit the smi7xx.conf configuration file to enable devg-smi7xx.so to run on your board. Follow the editing instructions in this file to specify the correct configuration for the required display mode. (For a more detailed explanation of the display settings, see the appropriate Silicon Motion documentation.)
You must specify the location of the configuration file to the devg-smi7xx.so driver via the mode_opts option of io-graphics, like this example:
io-graphics -d smi7xx xres=640,yres=480,bitpp=16,photon, mode_opts=/etc/config/smi7xx.conf -pphoton
