The following sections describe major features Intel® EMGD supports.
The table below lists Intel® EMGD-supported chipsets.
Table 5. Chipsets Supported by the Intel® EMGD
All supported chipsets provide for SINGLE LVDS output. In addition, digital monitors, CRTs and TVs are supported through the US15W/US15WP/WPT and MCH/Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx sDVO interfaces, depending on hardware availability.
The Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver and Video BIOS support the following operating systems and APIs. Intel® EMGD does not support updating your software past the versions specified here.
• MeeGo *IVI 1.2 (kernel 2.6.37.X, X Server 1.9.3)
• Timesys* Fedora Remix 14 (kernel 2.6.35.6, X Server 1.9.3)
• Microsoft Windows* XP with Service Pack 3, Windows* XP Embedded with Embedded Standard 2009
— DirectX* 9.0C (DirectDraw* and Direct3D*)
• API for hardware video decode (DirectShow*)
• OpenGL 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL 2.1 (Linux), and OpenVG 1.1 (Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Linux)
• Microsoft Windows* Embedded Compact 7 (E6xx only)
Note: The following features are NOT supported in Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver v1.18:
• D3D in Microsoft Windows* Embedded Compact 7
The Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver supports the DisplayID specification. DisplayID is a VESA specification (www.vesa.org) that describes the data format for the display configuration parameters and provides the capability to unify the display data structure thereby decreasing the need to rely on proprietary extensions. For more information on DisplayID, its uses and parameters please reference the VESA specification (www.vesa.org).
EDID-less support is the ability to run a display panel that does not have display timing information within the panel. Therefore, the user has to provide the display timing information to the graphics drivers during configuration using CED. See Creating a New Customized DTD.
This document describes only the necessary edits to the configuration files that are required to implement the graphics driver and VBIOS, and not specific settings for EDID-less panel configuration. Please refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the DTD settings to use for your EDID-less panels.
EDID-Less Panel Type Detection
The Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver supports EDID-less displays that do not export timing modes. This is accomplished by allowing configuration of a Detailed Timing Descriptor (DTD), and associating that DTD with a specific display port.
Rotation is the ability to rotate the display for the Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver. Rotation support includes 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°. Rotation is supported only on the following chipsets using Windows* XP, and Linux* operating systems:
• Intel® System Controller Hub US15W/US15WP/WPT chipset
Note: Rotation is not supported with the VBIOS. Rotation is supported with Windows* Embedded Compact 7 but only in static mode.
