I have a SPARCstation 20 equipped with an 8MB VSIMM for the SX
graphics subsystem. NetBSD recognizes it thusly:
cgfourteen0 at obio0 slot 2 offset 0x0 level 8: cgthree emulated at
1280x1024x8bpp (console)
cgfourteen0: attached to /dev/fb
This is actually capable (according to the documentation I have found
- mostly the Sun Frame Buffer FAQ) of doing 24-bit deep, but starting
Xsun24 only gives me 8-bit windows.
What needs to be done to support this 24-bits deep?
The answer(s) should be added to the NetBSD/sparc FAQ...
curious,
