+
+ This file describes how to add hardware cursor support to a chipset
+driver. Though the cursor support itself is in the ramdac module,
+cursor management is separate from the rest of the module.
+
+
+1) CURSOR INITIALIZATION AND SHUTDOWN
+
+ All relevant prototypes and defines are in xf86Cursor.h.
+
+ To initialize the cursor, the driver should allocate an
+xf86CursorInfoRec via xf86CreateCursorInfoRec(), fill it out as described
+later in this document and pass it to xf86InitCursor(). xf86InitCursor()
+must be called _after_ the software cursor initialization (usually
+miDCInitialize).
+
+ When shutting down, the driver should free the xf86CursorInfoRec
+structure in its CloseScreen function via xf86DestroyCursorInfoRec().
+
+
+2) FILLING OUT THE xf86CursorInfoRec
+
+ The driver informs the ramdac module of it's hardware cursor capablities by
+filling out an xf86CursorInfoRec structure and passing it to xf86InitCursor().
+The xf86CursorInfoRec contains the following function pointers:
+
+
+/**** These functions are required ****/
+
+void ShowCursor(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn)
+
+ ShowCursor should display the current cursor.
+
+void HideCursor(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn)
+
+ HideCursor should hide the current cursor.
+
+void SetCursorPosition(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, int x, int y)
+
+ Set the cursor position to (x,y). X and/or y may be negative
+ indicating that the cursor image is partially offscreen on
+ the left and/or top edges of the screen. It is up to the
+ driver to trap for this and deal with that situation.
+
+void SetCursorColors(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, int bg, int fg)
+
+ Set the cursor foreground and background colors. In 8bpp, fg and
+ bg are indicies into the current colormap unless the
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_TRUECOLOR_AT_8BPP flag is set. In that case
+ and in all other bpps the fg and bg are in 8-8-8 RGB format.
+
+void LoadCursorImage(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, unsigned char *bits)
+
+ LoadCursorImage is how the hardware cursor bits computed by the
+ RealizeCursor function will be passed to the driver when the cursor
+ shape needs to be changed.
+
+
+/**** These functions are optional ****/
+
+
+unsigned char* RealizeCursor(xf86CursorInfoPtr infoPtr, CursorPtr pCurs)
+
+ If RealizeCursor is not provided by the driver, one will be provided
+ for you based on the Flags field described below. The driver must
+ provide this function if the hardware cursor format is not one of
+ the common ones supported by this module.
+
+
+Bool UseHWCursor(ScreenPtr pScreen, CursorPtr pCurs)
+
+ If the driver is unable to use a hardware cursor for reasons
+ other than the cursor being larger than the maximum specified
+ in the MaxWidth or MaxHeight field below, it can supply the
+ UseHWCursor function. If UseHWCursor is provided by the driver,
+ it will be called whenever the cursor shape changes or the video
+ mode changes. This is useful for when the hardware cursor cannot
+ be used in interlaced or doublescan modes.
+
+
+/**** The following fields are required ****/
+
+MaxWidth
+MaxHeight
+
+ These indicate the largest sized cursor that can be a hardware
+ cursor. It will fall back to a software cursor when a cursor
+ exceeding this size needs to be used.
+
+
+Flags
+
+ /* Color related flags */
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_TRUECOLOR_AT_8BPP
+
+ This indicates that the colors passed to the SetCursorColors
+ function should not be in 8-8-8 RGB format in 8bpp but rather,
+ they should be the pixel values from the current colormap.
+
+
+ /* Cursor data loading flags */
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SHOW_TRANSPARENT
+
+ The HideCursor entry will normally be called instead of displaying a
+ completely transparent cursor, or when a switch to a software cursor
+ needs to occur. This flag prevents this behaviour, thus causing the
+ LoadCursorImage entry to be called with transparent cursor data.
+ NOTE: If you use this flag and provide your own RealizeCursor() entry,
+ ensure this entry returns transparent cursor data when called
+ with a NULL pCurs parameter.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_UPDATE_UNHIDDEN
+
+ This flag prevents the HideCursor call that would normally occur just before
+ the LoadCursorImage entry is to be called to load a new hardware cursor
+ image.
+
+
+ /* Cursor data packing flags */
+
+ Hardware cursor data consists of two pieces, a source and a mask.
+ The mask is a bitmap indicating which parts of the cursor are
+ transparent and which parts are drawn. The source is a bitmap
+ indicating which parts of the non-transparent portion of the the
+ cursor should be painted in the foreground color and which should
+ be painted in the background color.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_INVERT_MASK
+
+ By default, set bits indicate the opaque part of the mask bitmap
+ and clear bits indicate the transparent part. If your hardware
+ wants this the opposite way, this flag will invert the mask.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SWAP_SOURCE_AND_MASK
+
+ By default, RealizeCursor will store the source first and then
+ the mask. If the hardware needs this order reversed then this
+ flag should be set.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_AND_SOURCE_WITH_MASK
+
+ This flag will have the module logical AND the source with the mask to make
+ sure there are no source bits set if the corresponding mask bits
+ aren't set. Some hardware will not care if source bits are set where
+ there are supposed to be transparent areas, but some hardware will
+ interpret this as a third cursor color or similar. That type of
+ hardware will need this flag set.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_BIT_ORDER_MSBFIRST
+
+ By default, it is assumed that the least significant bit in each byte
+ corresponds to the leftmost pixel on the screen. If your hardware
+ has this reversed you should set this flag.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_NIBBLE_SWAPPED
+
+ If your hardware requires byte swapping of the hardware cursor, enable
+ this option.
+
+
+ /* Source-Mask interleaving flags */
+
+ By default the source and mask data are inlined (source first unless
+ the HARDWARE_CURSOR_SWAP_SOURCE_AND_MASK flag is set). Some hardware
+ will require the source and mask to be interleaved, that is, X number
+ of source bits should packed and then X number of mask bits repeating
+ until the entire pattern is stored. The following flags describe the
+ bit interleave.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_NOT_INTERLEAVED
+
+ This one is the default.
+
+ The following are for interleaved cursors.
+
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_INTERLEAVE_1
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_INTERLEAVE_8
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_INTERLEAVE_16
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_INTERLEAVE_32
+ HARDWARE_CURSOR_SOURCE_MASK_INTERLEAVE_64
+
+ And once again, if your hardware requires something different than
+ these packing styles, your driver can supply its own RealizeCursor
+ function.
