44.Nm cgsix
45.Nd Sun accelerated 8-bit color frame buffer

50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm cgsix
53is a memory based color frame buffer.
54It supports the minimal ioctl's needed to run
55.Xr X 1 .

63.Sh BUGS
64Several firmware revisions on
65.Nm
66boards have a terminal emulation bug that shows up when using the
67screen control sequences for inserting blank lines
68near the bottom end of the screen
69(i.e., the control sequences produced by the
70.So al Sc and So AL Sc
71capabilities found in the
72.Xr termcap 5
73database).
74The most likely occasion for triggering
75this bug is to use a full-screen editor such as
76.Xr vi 1
77on the workstation's console.
78.Pp
79To work around this you can set your
80.Ev TERM
81environment variable to the
82.Sq sun-cgsix
83terminal definition which is the same as the
84.Sq sun
85entry, except that the
86.Sq al
87and
88.Sq AL
89capabilities have been removed (at the cost of making the scrolling of
90the screen slower).
