NAME

cgfour − Sun-3 color memory frame buffer

SYNOPSIS — SUN-3

 
device cgfour0 at obmem 4 csr

DESCRIPTION

The cgfour is a color memory frame buffer with a monochrome overlay plane and an overlay enable plane implemented on the Sun-3/110 and Sun-3/160.  It provides the standard frame buffer interface as defined in fbio(4S).

In addition to the ioctls described under fbio(4s), the cgfour interface responds to two cgfour-specific colormap ioctls, FBIOPUTCMAP and FBIOGETCMAP.  FBIOPUTCMAP returns no information other than success/failure via the ioctl return value.  FBIOGETCMAP returns its information in the arrays pointed to by the red, green, and blue members of its fbcmap structure argument; fbcmap is defined in <sun/fbio.h> as:

struct fbcmap {
intindex;/∗ first element (0 origin) ∗/
intcount;/∗ number of elements ∗/
unsigned char∗red;/∗ red color map elements ∗/
unsigned char∗green;/∗ green color map elements ∗/
unsigned char∗blue;/∗ blue color map elements ∗/
};

The driver uses color board vertical-retrace interrupts to load the colormap.
