NAME
     qv, qvaux -- QVSS/VCB01 graphics driver for wscons

SYNOPSIS
     option FONT_QVSS8x15

     qv* at uba?
     wsdisplay* at qv?

     qvaux* at qv?
     lkkbd* at qvaux? line 0
     lkms* at qvaux? line 1

DESCRIPTION
     This driver handles QVSS/VCB01 qbus graphics hardware within the
     wscons(4) console framework.  It doesn't provide direct device driver
     entry points but makes its functions available via the internal
     wsdisplay(4) interface.

     The qv driver supports text-mode on the QVSS/VCB01 hardware.  Currently,
     the driver runs the display with a 1024x864 pixel resolution.  The
     QVSS/VCB01 text-mode divides the display into 57 rows of 128 characters.
     A 8x15 pixel font must be available.  Vertical scrolling uses the
     hardware scanmap.

     The qv driver supports multiple virtual screens on one physical display.
     Screens are either created at kernel startup or later with help of
     wsconscfg(8).

     Video timings are compatible with the Digital VR260 monitor and various
     multi-sync monitors.

     The qvaux driver supports two asynchronous serial ports.  Although the
     ports are general purpose, they are typically dedicated to a keyboard and
     mouse for use with wscons(4).

SEE ALSO
     uba(4), wscons(4), wsconscfg(8),

HISTORY
     This qv driver has little in common with the original qv driver.  Its
     closest antecedent is smg(4).

BUGS
     Only one font size is supported.

     QVSS is not supported as console.

     The Digital VS10X mouse is not supported.
