EndSection
wsfb is an Xorg driver for OpenBSD and NetBSD wsdisplay framebuffer
devices. This is a non-accelerated driver. The following framebuffer depths
are supported: 1, 8, 16 and 24, given that the wsdisplay device underneath
supports them.
A StaticGray monochrome visual is provided for depth 1, all visual types are
supported for depth 8 and a TrueColor visual is supported for the other
depths. Multi-head configurations are supported.
The wsfb driver supports all hardware where a wsdisplay framebuffer
driver is available on OpenBSD and NetBSD. On OpenBSD, currently this includes
OpenBSD/macppc, OpenBSD/sgi, OpenBSD/sparc, OpenBSD/sparc64 and OpenBSD/alpha
on TGA graphics cards. It also supports NetBSD/i386 using wsdisplay on
vesafb(4).
Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details. This section
only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the
Screen section of the configuration file. The wsfb driver
picks up the currently used video mode from the framebuffer driver and uses
it. Video modes specifications in the configuration file are ignored.
The following driver options are supported in the Device
section:
- Option "device" "string"
- The wsdisplay framebuffer device to use. Default for OpenBSD:
/dev/ttyC0. Default for NetBSD: /dev/ttyE0.
- Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
- Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer. See shadowfb(4) for
further information. Default: on for depths were it is supported, off
otherwise.
ShadowFB is currently not supported on monochrome displays.
- Option "Rotate" "string"
- Enable rotation of the display. The supported values are "CW"
(clockwise, 90 degrees), "UD" (upside down, 180 degrees) and
"CCW" (counter clockwise, 270 degrees). Implies use of the
shadow framebuffer layer. Default: off.
