RFX(4) BSD Programmer's Manual (SPARC) RFX(4)
rfx - Vitec/Connectware/AP&D RasterFlex framebuffer series
rfx* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
wsdisplay* at rfx?
The RasterFlex series, originally manufactured by Vitec, later bought by
Connectware, then by Advanced Products & Design, are high-performance
frame buffers and frame grabber devices.
The rfx driver only supports the RasterFlex frame buffers:
RasterFlex-24
RasterFlex-32
RasterFlex-HR
The rfx driver interfaces the frame buffer with the wscons(4) console
framework. It does not provide direct device driver entry points but
makes its functions available via the internal wsdisplay(4) interface.
The RasterFlex frame buffers will adapt their resolution to the monitor
they are connected to. However, when not connected to a Sun monitor, the
device will default to the 1152x900 resolution, with a refresh rate of
66Hz. A different resolution can be forced using the jumpers J2 to J4,
located near the video connector on the board itself.
In the following tables, left (L) and right (R) Jumper positions are
described looking at the board with the video connector on top. If the
jumper position is not specified, it means it has to be removed (open).

This driver does not support any acceleration features at the moment, and
drives the card in PROM-compatible, 8 bit, mode only.
The rfx cards will not function in the third SBus slot of the Sun SPARCs-
tation 1, 1+ and 2 machines (and their clones) due to hardware limita-
tions.
