gsconfig(1M)

NAME

gsconfig − initialize the SBus GS graphics accelerator

SYOPNSIS

/usr/bin/gsconfig [ −u ucode-filename ] [ fbunit... ]

DESCRIPTION

gsconfig loads and starts the appropriate microcode in the SBus GS cgtwelve(7) integrated accelerator and frame buffer. 

For example, the command line:

/usr/bin/gsconfig /dev/fbs/cgtwelve0

loads the GS microcode into the cgtwelve(7) integrated accelerator and frame buffer. 

The GS is loaded automatically at boot time according to the shell script /etc/init.d/gsconfig.  This file contains a gsconfig command like the example above.  If another configuration is desired, edit the command line in /etc/init.d/gsconfig. 

The default ucode-filename is /usr/lib/gs.ucode. 

The default fbunit is /dev/fbs/cgtwelve0. 

OPTIONS

−u microcode-file Load the specified file as the alternate microcode to the GS. 

FILES

/dev/fbs/cgtwelve0 SBus 24-bit frame buffer and graphics accelerator

/usr/lib/gs.ucode GS microcode file

/etc/init.d/gsconfig GS initialization script

SEE ALSO

cgtwelve(7)

NOTES

It is inadvisable to run the gsconfig command while the configured device is being used; unpredictable results may occur.  If it is necessary to reload the GS microcode, exit the window system, run the gsconfig program, and bring the window system back up.
