I just booted 1.6 from today's source on a Classic which has an sbus
cgsix as well as the on-board cgthree, and was quite surprised to
see this:
bpp0 at sbus0 slot 4 offset 0xc800000 level 2 (ipl 3): dma rev 2
ledma0 at sbus0 slot 4 offset 0x8400010: dma rev 2
le0 at ledma0 slot 4 offset 0x8c00000 level 6: address 08:00:20:1f:48:1e
le0: 8 receive buffers, 2 transmit buffers
cgsix0 at sbus0 slot 0 offset 0x0 level 9: SUNW,501-2325, 1152 x 900, rev 11
cgsix0: attached to /dev/fb
isp0 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x10000 level 3 (ipl 5) for QLGC,isp
scsibus1 at isp0: 16 targets, 8 luns per target
cgthree0 at sbus0 slot 3 offset 0x0 level 9: , 1152 x 900
cgthree0: replacing cgsix0
cgthree0: attached to /dev/fb
Is it possible to use multiple frame buffers on sparc? I guess
I can pull cgthree out of the kernel to use the cgsix, but I'd
rather be able to use both.
as far as i know, this works the same on netbsd as it does on sunos..
ie, you tell X what to do and it does it..
