.Sh NAME
.Nm zx
.Nd accelerated 24-bit color frame buffer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "zx* at sbus?"
.Cd "wsdisplay* at zx?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The ZX and TurboZX
are dual-slot SBus color frame buffers, with graphics acceleration
and overlay capabilities.
They are also known as the
.Tn Sun
.Dq Leo
graphics card.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
.Xr wscons 4
console framework.
It does not provide direct device driver entry points
but makes its functions available via the internal
.Xr wsdisplay 4
interface.
.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
The following resolutions are supported by the ZX frame buffer:
.Bl -column "Resolution" "Refresh Rate" "Details" -offset indent
.It Sy Resolution Ta Sy "Refresh Rate" Ta Sy "Details"
.It Li 1280x1024 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.It Li 1280x1024 Ta 67 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.It Li 1152x900 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.It Li 1152x900 Ta 66 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.It Li 1024x768 Ta 76 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.It Li 1024x768 Ta 60 Hz Ta Non-interlaced
.\" Is it worth documenting the Stereo and TV modes?
.It Li 960x680 Ta 112 Hz Ta "Stereo, non-interlaced 56 Hz field rate per eye"
.It Li 960x680 Ta 108 Hz Ta "Stereo, non-interlaced 54 Hz field rate per eye"
.It Li 770x575 Ta 50 Hz Ta "Interlaced - PAL"
.It Li 640x480 Ta 59.94 Hz Ta "Interlaced - NTSC"
.El
.Pp
If the ZX frame buffer is connected to a monitor at boot time, it will
select its display resolution depending of the monitor
.Sq select code
provided by the 13W3 connector.
If the frame buffer is not connected to a monitor, the default resolution
of 1152x900, with a 66 Hz refresh rate, will be selected.
The selected resolutions are:
.Bl -column "sense code" "Resolution" "Refresh" "Monitor"
.It Sy Monitor Ta Sy Resolution Ta Sy Refresh Ta Sy Monitor
.It Sy "sense code" Ta "" Ta Sy Rate Ta Sy Type
.It Li 0 Ta 1024x768  Ta "76 Hz" Ta "X449A"
.It Li 1 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz" Ta ""
.It Li 2 Ta 1280x1024 Ta "76 Hz" Ta "X248A, GDM-205S"
.It Li 3 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz" Ta "GDM-1955A15, GDM-1604A15, CPD-1790"
.It Li 4 Ta 1280x1024 Ta "67 Hz" Ta "GDM-20D10, GDM-1962"
.It Li 5 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz" Ta ""
.It Li 6 Ta 1152x900  Ta "76 Hz" Ta "GDM-1662B, 17SMM4"
.It Li 7 Ta 1152x900  Ta "66 Hz" Ta ""
