  5) Configuration
  
     The driver auto-detects all device info included memory size, so
     use the following device section in your XF86Config file:
  
  	Section "Device"
  		Identifier	"NeoMagic"
  	EndSection
  
     or let xf86config or XF86Setup do this for you.
  
     But if you have problems with auto-detection, you can specify:
  
        VideoRam  - in kilobytes
        DacSpeed  - in MHz
        MemBase   - physical address of the linear framebuffer
        IOBase    - physical address of the memory mapped IO registers
  
  
  6) Driver Options
  
      "no_linear"     - banked framebuffer mode
      "no_accel"      - software rendering only
      "sw_cursor"     - software cursor only
      "no_mmio"       - use I/O space directly
      "intern_disp"   - enable internal display (default)
      "extern_disp"   - enable external display
      "no_stretch"    - disable stretching of lower resolution modes on panel
      "lcd_center"    - center lower resolution modes on panel
  
       NOTE: Stretching of panel image is on by default for lower panel
       resolutions.
  
     Options useful for special lcd mode setting (should not be needed):
      "prog_lcd_mode_regs"       - set special lcd mode registers (2070 default)
      "no_prog_lcd_mode_regs"    - don't set lcd mode registers (non-2070 default)
      "prog_lcd_mode_stretch"    - force lcd mode regs if stretching is enabled
      "no_prog_lcd_mode_stretch" - no lcd mode regs if stretching (default)
  
     Option for subnotebooks and other laptops with uncommon size panels:
      "override_validate_mode" - disable LCD mode checking
  
       WARNING: Disabling mode checking will allow for invalid modes that
       could damage your LCD.
  
  7) Known Limitations
  
     * External monitor support on the NM2070.
     * Banked, or no_linear mode on the NM2070.
     * Horizontal centering for lower than panel resolution on NM2070.
