fbconfig(1M)

NAME

     fbconfig - Frame Buffer configuration utility

SYNOPSIS

     fbconfig [-list | -help]

     fbconfig [-dev device_filename] [-prconf] [-propt] [-res]

     fbconfig   [-dev    device_filename]    [-res    resolution-
     specification] device_specific_options

DESCRIPTION

     fbconfig is the generic command line interface to query  and
     configure frame buffer attributes.

     The following form of fbconfig is the interface for the dev-
     ice independent operations performed by fbconfig:

     fbconfig [-list | -help]

     The following form of fbconfig is the interface  for  confi-
     guring a frame buffer:

     fbconfig [-dev device_filename] [-prconf] [-propt] [-res]

     If the -dev option is  omitted,  the  default  frame  buffer
     (/dev/fb or /dev/fb0) is assumed. In the absence of specific
     options, the response will depend upon the  device  specific
     configuration program and how it responds to no options

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -dev device_filename
           Specify  the  FFB  special  file.   The   default   is
           /dev/fbs/ffb0.

     -help Print the fbconfig command usage summary. This is  the
           default option.

     -list Print the list of installed frame buffers and  associ-
           ated device specific configuration routines.

            Device Filename              Specific Config Program
            ---------------              -----------------------
             /dev/fbs/ffb0                SUNWffb_config
             /dev/fbs/ffb1                SUNWffb_config
             /dev/fbs/m640                SUNWm64_config
             /dev/fbs/cgsix0             not configurable

     -prconf
           Print the current hardware configuration.

     -propt
            Print the current software configuration.

OPERANDS

     The following operands are supported:

     device_specific_options
           device_specific_options are specified  in  the  format
           shown  by  the  -help  output,  or  the  corresponding
           device-specific man page.

LIMITATIONS

     Because of limitations in the m64 kernel driver and  related
     software,  fbconfig  (with  the -prconf option) is unable to
     distinguish between a current  depth  of  24  or  8+24.  The
     -propt  option  returns  the depth specified in the OWconfig
     file, which will be in effect following the next restart  of
     the  window system. The xwininfo utility, usually shipped in
     the  package  containing  frame  buffer  software  (such  as
     SUNWxwplt), reports current depth of a specified window.
