27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm zx
30.Nd accelerated 24-bit color frame buffer
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "zx* at sbus?"
33.Cd "wsdisplay* at zx?"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The ZX and TurboZX
36are dual-slot SBus color frame buffers, with graphics acceleration
37and overlay capabilities.
38They are also known as the
39.Tn Sun
40.Dq Leo
41graphics card.
42.Pp
43The
44.Nm
45driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
46.Xr wscons 4
47console framework.
48It does not provide direct device driver entry points
49but makes its functions available via the internal
50.Xr wsdisplay 4
51interface.
52.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
53The following resolutions are supported by the ZX frame buffer:
54.Bl -column "Resolution" "Refresh Rate"
55.It Li Resolution Ta "Refresh Rate"
56.It " "
57.It Li 1280x1024 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
58.It Li 1280x1024 Ta 67 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
59.It Li 1152x900 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
60.It Li 1152x900 Ta 66 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
61.It Li 1024x768 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
62.It Li 1024x768 Ta 60 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
63.\" Is it worth documenting the Stereo and TV modes?
64.It Li 960x680 Ta 112 Hz Ta "Stereo, non-interlaced"
65.It Li "" Ta "" Ta "56 Hz field rate per eye"
66.It Li 960x680 Ta 108 Hz Ta "Stereo, non-interlaced"
67.It Li "" Ta "" Ta "54 Hz field rate per eye"
68.It Li 770x575 Ta 50 Hz Ta "Interlaced - PAL"
69.It Li 640x480 Ta 59.94 Hz Ta "Interlaced - NTSC"
70.El
71.Pp
72If the ZX frame buffer is connected to a monitor at boot time, it will
73select its display resolution depending of the monitor
74.Sq select code
75provided by the 13W3 connector.
76If the frame buffer is not connected to a monitor, the default resolution
77of 1152x900, with a 66 Hz refresh rate, will be selected.
78The selected resolutions are:
79.Bl -column "sense code" "Resolution" "Refresh" "Monitor"
80.It Li Monitor Ta Resolution Ta Refresh Ta Monitor
81.It Li "sense code" Ta "" Ta Rate Ta Type
82.It " "
83.It Li 0 Ta 1024x768  Ta "76 Hz" Ta X449A
84.It Li 1 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz"
85.It Li 2 Ta 1280x1024 Ta "76 Hz" Ta X248A, GDM-205S
86.It Li 3 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz" Ta GDM-1955A15, GDM-1604A15, CPD-1790
87.It Li 4 Ta 1280x1024 Ta "67 Hz" Ta GDM-20D10, GDM-1962
88.It Li 5 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz"
89.It Li 6 Ta 1152x900  Ta "76 Hz" Ta GDM-1662B, 17SMM4
90.It Li 7 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz"
