17	  This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
18	  On the i386, this is from the Video BIOS. Enable this if DDC/I2C
19	  transfers do not work for your driver and if you are using
20	  nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.

22	  In general, choosing Y for this option is safe.  If you
23	  experience extremely long delays while booting before you get
24	  something on your display, try setting this to N.  Matrox cards in
25	  combination with certain motherboards and monitors are known to
26	  suffer from this problem.

177	  This enables functions for handling video modes using the
178	  Generalized Timing Formula and the EDID parser. A few drivers rely
179	  on this feature such as the radeonfb, rivafb, and the i810fb. If
180	  your driver does not take advantage of this feature, choosing Y will
181	  just increase the kernel size by about 5K.

183config FB_TILEBLITTING
184	bool "Enable Tile Blitting Support"
185	depends on FB
186	help
187	  This enables tile blitting.  Tile blitting is a drawing technique
188	  where the screen is divided into rectangular sections (tiles), whereas
189	  the standard blitting divides the screen into pixels. Because the
190	  default drawing element is a tile, drawing functions will be passed
191	  parameters in terms of number of tiles instead of number of pixels.
192	  For example, to draw a single character, instead of using bitmaps,
193	  an index to an array of bitmaps will be used.  To clear or move a
194	  rectangular section of a screen, the rectangle will be described in
195	  terms of number of tiles in the x- and y-axis.
196
197	  This is particularly important to one driver, matroxfb.  If
198	  unsure, say N.
