41.Dt TOPCAT 4 hp300
42.Os
43.Sh NAME
44.Nm topcat
45.Nd
46.Tn HP98544
4798550 ``Topcat'' and ``Catseye'' device interface
48.Sh SYNOPSIS
49.Cd "topcat* at intio?"
50.Cd "topcat* at dio? scode ?"
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52This driver is for the
53.Tn HP98544 ,
5498545 and 98547 ``Topcat''
55and
56.Tn HP98548 ,
5798549, and 98550 ``Catseye'' display cards.
58This driver merely checks for the existence of the device
59and does minimal set up, as it is expected the applications will initialize
60the device to their requirements.
61The Topcat and Catseye are nearly identical in common usage and only the
62Topcat will be referred to from now on.
63.Pp
64The Topcat display cards are not user configurable.  If one is present on a
65system, it will always have a frame buffer address of 0x200000 and a control
66register address of 0x560000.  These are the
67.Tn HP
68series 300
69.Tn ITE
70(Internal
71Terminal Emulator) defaults.  The device can also be used as a graphics output
72device.
73.Pp
74The
75.Xr ioctl 2
76calls supported by the
77.Bx
78system for the Topcat are:
79.Bl -tag -width GRFIOCGINFO
80.It Dv GRFIOCGINFO
81Get Graphics Info
82.Pp
83Get info about device, setting the entries in the
84.Ar grfinfo
85structure, as defined in
86.Aq Pa hpdev/grfioctl.h .
87For the 98544 or 98549,
88the number of planes should be 1, as they are monochrome devices.
89The number of planes for a 98545 is 4, translating to 15 colors,
90excluding black.
91The 98547 and 98548 cards have 6 planes, yielding 63 colors and black.
92The 98550 has 8 planes, yielding 255 colors and black.
93The displayed frame buffer size for the 98549 and 98550 is 2048 x 1024,
94for the others it is 1024 x 768.
95.It Dv GRFIOCON
96Graphics On
97.Pp
98Turn graphics on by enabling
99.Tn CRT
100output.  The screen will come on, displaying
101whatever is in the frame buffer, using whatever colormap is in place.
102.It Dv GRFIOCOFF
103Graphics Off
104.Pp
105Turn graphics off by disabling output to the
106.Tn CRT .
107The frame buffer contents
108are not affected.
109.It Dv GRFIOCMAP
110Map Device to user space
111.Pp
112Map in control registers and framebuffer space. Once the device file is
113mapped, the frame buffer structure is accessible.  The frame buffer structure
114describing Topcat/Catseye devices is defined in
115.Aq Pa hpdev/grf_tcreg.h .
116.El
117.Pp
118For further information about the use of
119.Xr ioctl 2
120see the man page.
