  <sect>Configuration
  <p>
  The driver auto-detects all device information necessary to
  initialize the card.  The only lines you need in the "Device"
  section of your xorg.conf file are:
  <verb>
         Section "Device"
             Identifier "Intel i740"
             Driver     "i740"
         EndSection
  </verb>
  
  However, if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
  <itemize>
    <item>VideoRam - in kilobytes
    <item>DacSpeed - in MHz
    <item>MemBase  - physical address of the linear framebuffer
    <item>IOBase   - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
  </itemize>
  
  
  <sect>Driver Options
  <p>
  <itemize>
    <item>"NoAccel"  - Turn off hardware acceleration
    <item>"SWCursor" - Request a software cursor (hardware is default)
    <item>"SDRAM"    - Force the use of SDRAM timings
    <item>"SGRAM"    - Force the use of SGRAM timings
    <item>"SlowRam"  - Force the use of slower ram timings
    <item>"Dac6Bit"  - Force the use of a 6 Bit Dac (8 Bit is the default)
    <item>"UsePIO    - Force the use of programmed IO (Memory mapped is the default)
  </itemize>
  
  Note: the i740 X server should automatically detect whether your
  card has SGRAM or SDRAM.  Use the "sgram" and "sdram" options
  if it is incorrectly detected.
  
  
  <sect>Known Limitations
  <p>
  <itemize>
    <item>Certain drawing operations are very slow when using 24 bit
          pixel depth mode.
