I'm not sure I understand the question, given that surely you've looked at 
xf86EloInit() by now.

[XFree86] Help with Adding New Option To Driver

[DOLLOFF, MATTHEW D. (MATT) (JSC-ER7) (NASA)]

I am trying to add a new option to xf86Elo.c
(elographics_drv.o) so that I can set up the driver to deal with twin view
monitors. I am not sure where I can add the option in the source code so that
when the XF86Config file is parsed it recognizes the option as a valid option,
and then how I reference that option once I find it.



Thanks,

Matt
