.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
is a UPA based color frame buffer, found in some Sun SBus and PCI systems.
The
.Nm
driver supports both the Creator/Creator3D, and the Elite3D frame buffers.
.Pp
There are several versions of the
.Nm
board.
The Sun part numbers and board types are:

The
.Sq Creator
cards have 5MB of on-board memory, support a maximum graphics resolution
of 1280x1024, and are single-buffered.
.Pp
The
.Sq Creator3D
cards have 15MB of on-board memory support a maximum resolution of
1280x1024 double-buffered, and 1920x1360 single-buffered.
.Pp
The
.Sq Elite3D
cards have 15MB of on-board memory, support a maximum resolution of
1280x1024, and are always double-buffered.
The
.Sq Elite3D-m3
cards have one hardware geometry engine, whereas the
.Sq Elite3D-m6
cards have two.
.Pp
The
.Sq Series 3
cards are considerably faster than the
.Sq Series 1
and
.Sq Series 2
cards.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports reading
.Dv EDID
data from connected monitors, and will automatically set a resolution that is
supported by both the card and the monitor if the
.Dv EDID
data can be read.
This can be overridden for the console frame buffer, by setting the
.Dv output-device
openprom variable.
For example, the following openprom command will set the console resolution
to 1280x1024 @ 60Hz, which will not be altered by the
.Nm
driver.

.Sh BUGS
It is necessary to blank the video output when reading
.Dv EDID
data.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver does not support 3D accleration.
.Pp
Not all
.Dv 13W3
to
.Dv VGA
converters connect
.Dv 13W3
pin 2 to
.Dv VGA
pin 9.
This pin supplies +5V DC to power the monitor
.Dv EEPROM,
even when the monitor
is powered off, and is necessary in order to obtain
.Dv EDID
data on some monitors.
