vigra8-bit SBus color frame buffer with VGA-compatible modes

vigra* at sbus?
wsdisplay* at vigra?

The Vigra VS10, VS11 and VS12 are 8-bit color frame buffers with user-selectable video modes, and a VGA-compatible connector.

The vigra driver interfaces the frame buffer with the wscons(4) console framework. It does not provide direct device driver entry points but makes its functions available via the internal wsdisplay(4) interface.

The video resolution and signal synchronization modes are selected with four DIP switches on the back of the card.

The VS10 and VS12 support the following basic modes:

640x480 60Hz Standard VGA, negative separate sync
800x600 56Hz Super VGA, negative separate sync
800x600 56Hz Super VGA, positive separate sync
1024x768 60Hz Super VGA, negative separate sync
1024x768 60Hz Super VGA, composite sync
1024x768 60Hz Super VGA, sync-on-green
1024x768 66Hz Sun 386i, composite sync
1152x900 76Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync
1152x900 61.5Hz NEC 4D, composite sync
1152x900 66Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync
800x600 60Hz VESA, negative separate sync
800x600 72Hz VESA, negative separate sync

The VS12 supports all of the previously listed modes, as well as a few high resolution settings.

1280x1024 60Hz NEC xD, negative separate sync
1280x1024 60Hz NEC xD, composite sync
1280x1024 60Hz NEC xD, sync-on-green
1280x1024 67Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync

The VS11 supports a similar set of modes as the VS12, but with higher refresh rates.

640x480 60Hz Standard VGA, negative separate sync
800x600 72Hz VESA, negative separate sync
1024x768 60Hz VESA, negative separate sync
1024x768 60Hz VESA, composite sync
1024x768 60Hz VESA, sync-on-green
1024x768 66Hz Sun 386i, composite sync
1152x900 66Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync
1152x900 76Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync
1280x1024 67Hz Sun SPARCstation, composite sync
1280x1024 60Hz NEC xFG, negative separate sync
1280x1024 60Hz NEC xFG, composite sync
1280x1024 60Hz NEC xFG, sync-on-green
1280x1024 74Hz NEC xFG, composite sync
1280x1024 74Hz NEC xFG, sync-on-green
1280x1024 72Hz HP A1097, composite sync
1280x1024 72Hz Special, composite sync
