27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm tvtwo
30.Nd accelerated 24-bit color frame buffer
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "tvtwo* at sbus?"
33.Cd "wsdisplay* at tvtwo?"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The Parallax XVideo and PowerVideo frame buffers, also known as
36.Sq tvtwo ,
37are memory based color frame buffers, with graphics acceleration
38and overlay capabilities, and hardware MPEG decoding.
39.Pp
40The
41.Nm
42driver interfaces the frame buffer to the
43.Xr wscons 4
44console framework.
45It does not provide direct device driver entry points
46but makes its functions available via the internal
47.Xr wsdisplay 4
48interface.
49.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
50The XVideo and PowerVideo frame buffers will adapt their resolution and
51refresh rate to the monitor they are connected to.
52However, when not connected to a Sun monitor, the device will default to the
53.Xr cgthree 4 -compatible
541152x900 resolution, with a refresh rate of 67Hz.
55A different resolution can be forced using the rotary switch on the edge
56of the board.
57.Pp
58The available modes are as follows:
59.Bl -column "Rotary" "Resolution" "Refresh Rate" -offset indent
60.It Li Rotary Ta Resolution Ta "Refresh Rate"
61.\" .It " "
62.It Li 0 Ta autodetect Ta autodetect
63.It Li 1 Ta 1152x900 Ta 67Hz
64.It Li 2 Ta 1152x900 Ta 76Hz
65.It Li 3 Ta 1152x900 Ta 60Hz
66.It Li 4 Ta 1024x768 Ta 77Hz
67.It Li 5 Ta 640x480 Ta 60Hz
68.El
69.Pp
70All other rotary positions will behave as position 0, except for positions
71E and F.
72Position E enables the board built-in debugger on the serial port, and
73should not be used by end-users.
74Position F selects the video mode settings stored in the cards NVRAM.
75These settings cannot be modified under
76.Ox .
