9=================================
10
11The 'video-mode' environment variable can be used to enable and configure
12some video drivers.  The format matches the video= command-line option used
13for Linux:
14
15	video-mode=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>-<depth>@<freq><,option=string>
16
17	<driver>	The video driver name, ignored by U-Boot
18	<xres>		The X resolution (in pixels) to use.
19	<yres>		The Y resolution (in pixels) to use.
20	<depth>		The color depth (in bits) to use.
21	<freq>		The frequency (in Hz) to use.
22	<options>	A comma-separated list of device-specific options

25U-Boot MPC8xx video controller driver
26=====================================
27
28The driver has been tested with the following configurations:
29
30- MPC823FADS with AD7176 on a PAL TV (YCbYCr)	- arsenio@tin.it
31
32Example: video-mode=fslfb:1280x1024-32@60,monitor=dvi
33
34
35U-boot sunxi video controller driver
36====================================
37
38U-boot supports hdmi and lcd output on Allwinner sunxi SoCs, lcd output
39requires the CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE Kconfig value to be set.
40
41The sunxi u-boot driver supports the following video-mode options:
42
43- monitor=[none|dvi|hdmi|lcd] - Select the video output to use
44 none:     Disable video output.
45 dvi/hdmi: Selects output over the hdmi connector with dvi resp. hdmi output
46           format, if edid is used the format is automatically selected.
47 lcd:      Selects video output to a LCD screen.
48 vga:      Selects bideo output over the VGA connector.
49 Defaults to monitor=dvi.
50
51- hpd=[0|1] - Enable use of the hdmi HotPlug Detect feature
52 0: Disabled. Configure dvi/hdmi output even if no cable is detected
53 1: Enabled.  Fallback to the lcd / vga / none in that order (if available)
54 Defaults to hpd=1.
55
56- edid=[0|1] - Enable use of DDC + EDID to get monitor info
57 0: Disabled.
58 1: Enabled. If valid EDID info was read from the monitor the EDID info will
59    overrides the xres, yres and refresh from the video-mode env. variable.
60 Defaults to edid=1.
61
62For example to always use the hdmi connector, even if no cable is inserted,
63using edid info when available and otherwise initalizing it at 1024x768@60Hz,
64use: video-mode=sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=dvi,hpd=0,edid=1 .
