BWONE(4S)  —  SPECIAL FILES

NAME

bwone − Sun-1 black and white frame buffer

SYNOPSIS — SUN-2

device bwone0 at mbmem ? csr 0xc0000 priority 3

DESCRIPTION

The bwone interface provides access to Sun-1 black and white graphics controller boards.  It supports the FBIOGTYPE ioctl which programs can use to determine the characteristics of the display device; see fbio(4S).

bwone also  supports the FBIOGPIXRECT ioctl which allows SunWindows to be run on it; see fbio(4S).

Reading or writing to the frame buffer is not allowed − you must use the mmap(2) system call to map the board into your address space.
