Description
CRT Vertical Sync Polarity:
9
0 = Causes CRT VSYNC signal to be normally low, generating a high pulse during the retrace interval.
1 = Cause CRT VSYNC signal to be normally high, generating a low pulse during the retrace interval.
CRT Horizontal Sync Polarity:
8
CHSP
0 = Causes CRT HSYNC signal to be normally low, generating a high pulse during the retrace interval.
1 = Causes CRT HSYNC signal to be normally high, generating a low pulse during the retrace interval.
Blink Enable: Blink circuitry: 0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.

BLNK
VIEN
If enabled, the hardware cursor will blink as well as any pixels. This is provided to maintain compatibility
with VGA text modes. The blink rate is determined by the bit 16 (BKRT).
Vertical Interrupt Enable: Generate a vertical interrupt on the occurrence of the next vertical sync pulse:
0 = Disable, vertical interrupt is cleared;
1 = Enable.
This bit is provided to maintain backward compatibility with the VGA.

TGEN
DDCK
Timing Generator Enable: Allow timing generator to generate the timing control signals for the display.
0 = Disable, the Timing Registers may be reprogrammed, and all circuitry operating on the DOTCLK will be
reset.
1 = Enable, no write operations are permitted to the Timing Registers.
DDC Clock: This bit is used to provide the serial clock for reading the DDC data pin. This bit is multiplexed
onto the CRTVSYNC pin, but in order for it to have an effect, the VSYE bit must be set low to disable the
normal vertical sync. Software should then pulse this bit high and low to clock data into the GXm proces-
sor.
This feature is provided to allow support for the VESA Display Data Channel standard level DDC1.

BLKE
VSYE
Blank Enable: Allow generation of the composite blank signal to the display device:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.
When disabled, the BLANK# output will be a static low level. This allows VESA DPMS compliance.
Horizontal Sync Enable: Allow generation of the horizontal sync signal to a CRT display device:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.
When disabled, the HSYNC output will be a static low level. This allows VESA DPMS compliance.
Note that this bit only applies to the CRT; the flat panel HSYNC is controlled by the automatic power
sequencing logic.

HSYE
FPPE
Vertical Sync Enable: Allow generation of the vertical sync signal to a CRT display device:
0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.
When disabled, the VSYNC output will be a static low level. This allows VESA DPMS compliance.
Note that this bit only applies to the CRT; the flat panel VSYNC is controlled by the automatic power
sequencing logic.
Flat Panel Power Enable: On a low-to-high transition this bit will enable the flat panel power-up sequence
to begin. This will first turn on VDD to the panel, then start the clocks, syncs, and pixel bus, then turn on
the LCD bias voltage, and finally the backlight.
On a high-to-low transition, this bit will disable the outputs in the reverse order.

DC_OUTPUT_CFG Register (R/W)

RSVD
DIAG
Reserved: Set to 0.
Compressed Line Buffer Diagnostic Mode: This bit will allow testability of the Compressed Line Buffer
via the diagnostic access registers. A low-to-high transition will reset the Compressed Line Buffer write
pointer. 0 = Disable (Normal operation); 1 = Enable.

CFRW
PDEH
Compressed Line Buffer Read/Write Select: Enables the read/write address to the Compressed Line
Buffer for use in diagnostic testing of the RAM.
0 = Write address enabled
1 = Read address enabled
Panel Data Enable High:
0 = The PANEL[17:9] data bus to be driven to a logic low level to effectively blank an attached flat panel
display or disable the upper pixel data bus for 16-bit pixel port RAMDACs.
1 = If no flat panel is attached, the PANEL[17:9] data bus will be driven with active pixel data. If a flat panel
is attached, setting this bit high will have no effect − the upper panel bus will be driven based upon the
power sequencing logic.
