30.Sh NAME
31.Nm rfx
32.Nd Vitec/Connectware/AP&D RasterFlex framebuffer series
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "rfx* at sbus?"
35.Cd "wsdisplay* at rfx?"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The RasterFlex
38series, originally manufactured by Vitec, later bought by Connectware,
39then by Advanced Products & Design, are high-performance frame buffers
40and frame grabber devices.
41.Pp
42The
43.Nm
44driver only supports the RasterFlex frame buffers:
45.Bl -tag -width RasterFLEX-HR -offset indent -compact
46.It RasterFlex-24
47.It RasterFlex-32
48.It RasterFlex-HR
49.El
50.Pp
51The
52.Nm
53driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
54.Xr wscons 4
55console framework.
56It does not provide direct device driver entry points
57but makes its functions available via the internal
58.Xr wsdisplay 4
59interface.
60.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
61The RasterFlex
62frame buffers will adapt their resolution to the monitor they are
63connected to.
64However, when not connected to a Sun
65monitor, the device will default to the 1152x900 resolution, with a refresh
66rate of 66Hz.
67A different resolution can be forced using the jumpers J2 to J4, located
68near the video connector on the board itself.
69.Pp
70In the following tables, left
71.Pq L
72and right
73.Pq R
74jumper positions are described looking at the board with the video connector
75on top.
76If the jumper position is not specified
77.Pq _ ,
78it means it has to be removed
79.Pq open .
