SET commands for Voodoo (glide)
James Richardson
Can anyone (Brett "3 Fingers") point me to a website or document that lists
all the SET commands for Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 ?!?!?

shell.
INITDEBUG_FILE Valid Filenames Instead of displaying the info on screen,
GLide writes the info to the specified file.

termination.

PFT_CLK_DEL Preliminary (initial) speed at which the frame buffer memory can
be accessed.
PFT_CLK0_DEL Preliminary (initial) texture chip 0 memory access speed in
delayed clocks.

delayed clocks.
PFT_CLK2_DEL Preliminary (initial) texture chip 2 memory access speed in
delayed clocks.
REFRESH_512x384 These Six settings force the refresh rate for their
resolutions, on glide

REFRESH_640x480
REFRESH_800x600
REFRESH_960x720
REFRESH_1024x768
RGAMMA 0 to 1.95 Adjusts Blue Gamma
SCREENREFRESH 60 60,75,85,120 Set vertical screen refresh rate in Hz for
Glide apps

SLIM_PVOUT_CLKDEL Master frame buffer chip preliminary pixel clock delay.
SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL Master video in clock delay, for external sync / genlocking
SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL Slave system clock delay. Only valid if multiple FBI's and
TMU's are present.
SLIS_PVOUT_CLKDEL Master frame buffer chip preliminary pixel clock delay.
SLISWAP Makes master become slave and slave become master in SLI mode
SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL Slave system video in clock delay (for sync to master)
SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL Slave system clock delay. Only valid if multiple FBI's and
TMU's are present.
SLOWMEM_WTR Enables Slow write to read memory timing on=1
SLOWMEM_RTW Enables Slow read to write memory timing on=1
SLOWPCIWR Adds waitstates to PCI bus writes to Voodoo memory and i/o.
(PCI-Voodoo)
SWAPBOARDS Switches roles of master and slave SLI devices
SWAP_EN_WAIT_ON_VSYNC 1 0 or 1 0 = Turn of syncing to the monitor's vertical
refresh rate.
TEXMAP_DISABLE 0 0 or 1 Disables texture mapping (1)

TF1_CLK_DEL Texture chip 1 memory access in delayed clocks
TF2_CLK_DEL Texture chip 2 memory access in delayed clocks
TF_FIFO_TRESH CPU/Frame Buffer Writes/reads to the texture map memory is
done through fifo since the texture map chip might be doing something with
that memory at the time. This sets texture map write/read fifo thr eshold to
tell glide that FIFO needs to be serviced and then may accept more data from
either frame buffer or CPU.
TILESINX Uses n number of video tiles in X dimension
TMUCFG Texture Chip Direct Bitmapped Config Register. Sets Texture types,
overlay etc. directly.
TMUMEM_SIZE Amount of texture ram in Kb Amount of texture ram. Overrides
Glide autodetect.
TMUMEM
TREX0INIT0 Texture Chip 0 Direct Bitmapped Primary Init Register (glide will
change the values of ; these registers depending on other environment
variables).

TREX1INIT1 Texture Chip 0 Direct Bitmapped Secondary Init Register
TREX2INIT0 Texture Chip 0 Direct Bitmapped Primary Init Register
TREX2INIT1 Texture Chip 2 Direct Bitmapped Secondary Init Register
TRIPLE_BUFFER If program does no Z or Alpha buffering, use AUX buffer as
hidden speed buffer.
VFIFO_THRESH Treshold of PCI - Voodoo frame buffer access before FIFO is to
be serviced. Overrides default video FIFO threshold (to signal FIFO is
almost empty/full)
VGA_PASS 1 0 or 1 Enable VGA pass-trough (1)
VIDCLK2X It appears that this setting is to set video clock delay
VIDEO_24BPP 0 0 or 1 Enable 24-bit video mode (1) Forces glide to process
pixels as 24 bits internally
VIDEO_CLEARCOLOR 0 or 1 Color fill backbuffer during a page flip. (0 =
enable) Forces a color that a frame buffer is cleared to
VIDEO_DISABLE Disable video DAC information stream. Syncing may still be
active.
VIDEO_FILTER_DISABLE Disable 24-16 bit dithering (This attempts to smooth
dithering artifacts) (causes complete loss of signal to monitor)
VIDEO_FILTER_TRESHOLD 16bit pixel value theshhold, in which smoothing will
be applied to inside adjacent pixels. Controls how much filtering is applied
to dithered pixels
VIDEO_NOCLEAR Don't clear backbuffer during a page flip. Disables automatic
hardware clearing of frame buffer(s)
VIN_CLKDEL Single Voodoo system video in clock delay Number of clocks to
delay video input from a master
VOUT_CLKDEL Single Voodoo system video out clock delay Number of clocks to
delay video output to a slave
VSYNC 1 0 or 1 Disable vsync, may increase performance (0) Forces glide to
use a VS lenth of n video clocks
