==Requirements==
* You have to patch your LV1 and enable 4KB GPU IO page size support else ps3gpu won't work.
* You can either patch your LV1 permanently (e.g. with my ps3mfw task for LV1) or do it at run-time with my '''gpu_4kb_iopage.sh''' script.
* By default, LV1 supports 1MB and 64KB GPU IO page sizes but we need 4KB page size. The reason for this is that it's very hard to allocate 1MB or 64KB continuous memory chunk in FreeBSD kernel (same applies for Linux).
* gpu_4kb_iopage.sh should work with my petitboot and my Linux kernels and even on FreeBSD if you load ps3physmem driver before using the script.

==Tiling==
* We have to use a different video pitch.
* Use e.g. ps3dm VUART driver and ps3vuart-tools to set video pitch allowed for tiling.


==Screenshots==
==Screenshots==
* The square in the middle of the screen is the source.
* The square on the left was copied from the source by RSX DMA using positive pitches, from top to bottom.
* The square on the right was copied from the source by RSX DMA using negative pitches, from bottom to top.
* Unfortunately it's not possible to make a screenshot of hardware cursor by dumping video ram content because hardware cursor is overlayed.

* You need this driver to run X11 server on PS3.
* The driver supports hardware acceleration through X11 EXA interface.
* Currently the driver uses only RSX DMA engine to copy memory.

* The driver is still work in progress but is usable. Expect to see some artefacts :)
* Please report any problems and bugs to my.


==Building==

First install xorg port on your PS3. It will take a long time:
<pre>
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make BATCH=yes install clean
# And install some window manager, e.g. blackbox
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/blackbox
make BATCH=yes install clean
# Also install scrot to make screenshots
cd /usr/ports/graphics/scrot
make BATCH=yes install clean
</pre>
Now compile the X11 driver:
<pre>
cd xf86-video-ps3gpu
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install          # as root
</pre>
==xorg_accel.conf==
* Acceleration enabled.
