A bit old but a relatively uncomplicated device capable of outputting
1920x1080 video with 32-bit color. Tested with a Voodoo 3 3000 16MB
PCI card. Resolution switching from DisplaySettings also works.
If the requested mode contains timing information, it is used directly.
Otherwise, display timing values are selected from the EDID. First the
detailed timings are checked, and then standard and established
timings for which there is a matching DMT mode. The driver does not
(yet) read the actual EDID, so the generic EDID in DisplayConnector now
includes a set of common display modes to make this work.
The driver should also be compatible with the Voodoo Banshee, 4 and 5
but I don't have these cards to test this with. The PCI IDs of these
cards are included as a commented line in case someone wants to give it
a try.
According to the VirtIO 1.0 specification:
"Non-transitional devices SHOULD have a PCI Device ID in the range
0x1040 to 0x107f. Non-transitional devices SHOULD have a PCI Revision ID
of 1 or higher. Non-transitional devices SHOULD have a PCI Subsystem
Device ID of 0x40 or higher."
It also says that:
"Transitional devices MUST have a PCI Revision ID of 0. Transitional
devices MUST have the PCI Subsystem Device ID matching the Virtio
Device ID, as indicated in section 5. Transitional devices MUST have the
Transitional PCI Device ID in the range 0x1000 to 0x103f."
So, for legacy devices, we know that revision ID in the PCI header won't
be 1, so we probe for PCI_SUBSYSTEM_ID value.
Instead of using the subsystem device ID, we can probe the DEVICE_ID
value directly in case it's not a legacy device.
This should cover all possibilities for identifying VirtIO devices, both
per the specification of 0.9.5, and future revisions from 1.0 onwards.
