.Dd April 26, 1999 .Dt PX 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm px .Nd driver for TURBOchannel ``PixelStamp'' accelerated graphics boards .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "px* at tc? slot ? offset ?" .Cd "wsdisplay* at px?" .Sh HARDWARE The .Nm driver provides support for the .Tn DEC .Tn PixelStamp video display option cards:

p l -item -compact t PMAG-C (PX) 8 plane, 2D t PMAG-D (PXG) 8 plane, 3D, 128kB SRAM t PMAG-E (PXG+) 24 plane, 3D, 128kB SRAM t PMAG-F (PXG+ Turbo) 24 plane, 3D, 256kB SRAM, Z-Buffer .El

p .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr rcons 4 , .Xr tc 4 , .Xr wscons 4 .Sh BUGS Interrupt handling, packet queuing and hardware clipping for the .Li PXG are totally broken. Support for the .Li i860 co-processor must first be added.

p The X server is a work in progress.

p 3D geometry acceleration is not supported, and probably never will be.

p Only one of the listed boards can be installed at any given time. Work is underway to remove this restriction.

p .Nx Ns /pmax does not currently support the machine-independent .Xr wscons 4 interface and uses a machine-dependent version. .Sh AUTHORS Andy Doran .Aq ad (at] netbsd.org . .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Nx 1.3 . It became usable as a console device in .Nx 1.5 .
