41.Dt DVBOX 4 hp300
42.Os
43.Sh NAME
44.Nm dvbox
45.Nd
46.Tn HP98730
47``DaVinci'' graphics device interface
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49This driver is for the
50.Tn HP98730
51and 98731 graphics device, also known as
52the DaVinci.  This driver has not been tested with all possible
53combinations of frame buffer boards and scan boards installed in the device.
54The driver merely checks for the existence of the device and does minimal set
55up.
56.Pp
57The DaVinci can be configured at either the ``internal'' address
58(frame buffer address 0x200000, control register space address 0x560000)
59or at an external select code less than 32.
60At the internal address it will be the ``preferred'' console device.
61The hardware installation manual describes the procedure for
62setting these values.
63.Pp
64A user process communicates to the device initially by means of
65.Xr ioctl 2
66calls.  For the
67.Tn HP-UX
68.Xr ioctl 2
69calls supported, refer to
70.Tn HP-UX
71manuals.
72The
73.Bx
74calls supported are:
75.Bl -tag -width indent
76.It Dv GRFIOCGINFO
77Get Graphics Info
78.Pp
79Get info about device, setting the entries in the
80.Ar grfinfo
81structure, as defined in
82.Aq Pa hpdev/grfioctl.h .
83For the standard 98730, the number of planes should be 4.  The number of
84colors would therefore be 15, excluding black.  If one 98732A frame buffer
85board is installed, there will still be 4 planes, with the 4 planes on the
86colormap board becoming overlay planes.  With each additional 98732 frame
87buffer board 4 planes will be added up to a maximum of 32 planes total.
88.It Dv GRFIOCON
89Graphics On
90.Pp
91Turn graphics on by enabling
92.Tn CRT
93output.  The screen will come on, displaying
94whatever is in the frame buffer, using whatever colormap is in place.
95.It Dv GRFIOCOFF
96Graphics Off
97.Pp
98Turn graphics off by disabling output to the
99.Tn CRT .
100The frame buffer contents
101are not affected.
102.It Dv GRFIOCMAP
103Map Device to user space
104.Pp
105Map in control registers and frame buffer space. Once the device file is
106mapped, the frame buffer structure is accessible.  The structure describing
107the 98730 is defined in
108.Aq Pa hpdev/grf_dvreg.h .

144return -1;
