15.Sh NAME

18.Tn HP98730
19``DaVinci'' device interface
20.Sh DESCRIPTION
21This driver is for the
22.Tn HP98730
23and 98731 graphics device, also known as
24the DaVinci.  This driver has not been tested with all possible
25combinations of frame buffer boards and scan boards installed in the device.
26The driver merely checks for the existence of the device and does minimal set
27up.
28.Pp
29The DaVinci can be configured at either the ``internal'' address
30(frame buffer address 0x200000, control register space address 0x560000)
31or at an external select code less than 32.
32At the internal address it will be the ``preferred'' console device
33(see
34.Xr cons 4 ) .
35The hardware installation manual describes the procedure for
36setting these values.
37.Pp
38A user process communicates to the device initially by means of
39.Xr ioctl 2
40calls.  For the
41.Tn HP-UX
42.Xr ioctl
43calls supported, refer to
44.Tn HP-UX
45manuals.
46The
47.Bx
48calls supported are:
49.Bl -tag -width indent
50.It Dv GRFIOCGINFO
51Get Graphics Info
52.Pp
53Get info about device, setting the entries in the
54.Ar grfinfo
55structure, as defined in
56.Aq Pa hpdev/grfioctl.h .
57For the standard 98730, the number of planes should be 4.  The number of
58colors would therefore be 15, excluding black.  If one 98732A frame buffer
59board is installed, there will still be 4 planes, with the 4 planes on the
60colormap board becoming overlay planes.  With each additional 98732 frame
61buffer board 4 planes will be added up to a maximum of 32 planes total.
62.It Dv GRFIOCON
63Graphics On
64.Pp
65Turn graphics on by enabling
66.Tn CRT
67output.  The screen will come on, displaying
68whatever is in the frame buffer, using whatever colormap is in place.
69.It Dv GRFIOCOFF
70Graphics Off
71.Pp
72Turn graphics off by disabling output to the
73.Tn CRT .
74The frame buffer contents
75are not affected.
76.It Dv GRFIOCMAP
77Map Device to user space
78.Pp
79Map in control registers and frame buffer space. Once the device file is
80mapped, the frame buffer structure is accessible.  The structure describing
81the 98730 is defined in
82.Aq Pa hpdev/grf_dvreg.h .

84.Sh EXAMPLE
85This is a short segment of code showing how the device is opened and mapped
86into user process address space assuming that it is
87.Ql grf0 :
88.Bd -literal -offset indent
89struct dvboxfb *dvbox;
90u_char *Addr, frame_buffer;
91struct grfinfo gi;
92int disp_fd;
93
94disp_fd = open("/dev/grf0",1);
95
96if (ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCGINFO, &gi) < 0) return -1;
97
98(void) ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCON, 0);
99
100Addr = (u_char *) 0;
101if (ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCMAP, &Addr) < 0) {
102(void) ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCOFF, 0);
103return -1;
104}
105dvbox = (dvboxfb *) Addr;                  /* Control Registers   */
106frame_buffer=(u_char *)Addr+gi.gd_regsize; /* Frame buffer memory */
