.Sh NAME
.Nm cgsix
.Nd accelerated 8-bit color frame buffer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "cgsix* at sbus? flags 0x0"
.Cd "wsdisplay* at cgsix?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
is an SBus color frame buffer with graphics acceleration,
commonly found in the non
.Sq creator
SBus UltraSPARC workstations.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
.Xr wscons 4
console framework.
It does not provide direct device driver entry points
but makes its functions available via the internal
.Xr wsdisplay 4
interface.
.Pp
Different models exist, with various memory sizes and capabilities.
The
.Nm
driver supports the four flavours:
.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
.It
GX
.It
GX+
.It
Turbo GX (or TGX)
.It
Turbo GX+ (or TGX+)
.El
.Pp
By default hardware acceleration is used to erase the screen and
scroll text.
By setting
.Ar flags
to
.Ar 1
(via
.Xr config 8
or
.Xr boot_config 8 )
this acceleration can be disabled.
.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
If the
.Nm
frame buffer is used as the console display, a different resolution than the
default 1152x900 can be selected by changing the OpenPROM environment.
To change the default resolution, type the following:
.Pp
.Em \   ok
setenv
.Em output-device
screen:r1280x1024x76
.Pp
to change to a 76Hz 1280x1024 resolution.
.Pp
If the
.Nm
frame buffer is a secondary display, or a serial console is used, the
display resolution cannot be changed without using an
.Em nvramrc
OpenPROM script.
Refer to the
.Em Sun Frame Buffer FAQ
for details.
.Pp
The
.Nm
frame buffer accepts the following resolutions:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width screen:r1280x1024x76 -compact
