33.Tn RasterFlex
34framebuffer series
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "rfx* at sbus?"
37.Cd "wsdisplay* at rfx?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Tn RasterFlex
41series, originally manufactured by Vitec, later bought by Connectware,
42then by Advanced Products & Design, are high-performance frame buffers
43and frame grabber devices.
44.Pp
45The
46.Nm
47driver only supports the
48.Tn RasterFlex
49frame buffers:
50.Bl -tag -width RasterFLEX-HR -offset indent -compact
51.It RasterFlex-24
52.It RasterFlex-32
53.It RasterFlex-HR
54.El
55.Pp
56The
57.Nm
58driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
59.Xr wscons 4
60console framework.
61It does not provide direct device driver entry points
62but makes its functions available via the internal
63.Xr wsdisplay 4
64interface.
65.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
66The
67.Tn RasterFlex
68frame buffers will adapt their resolution to the monitor they are
69connected to.
70However, when not connected to a
71.Tn Sun
72monitor, the device will default to the 1152x900 resolution, with a refresh
73rate of 66Hz.
74A different resolution can be forced using the jumpers J2 to J4, located
75near the video connector on the board itself.
76.Pp
77In the following tables, left

81Jumper positions are described looking at the board with the video connector
82on top.
83If the jumper position is not specified, it means it has to be removed
