Default: 2.2
-gfile Filename of the file containing Gamma Correction Table
-help print out this message.
-multisample If disable, no multisampling is possible. If available,
multisampling is possible but selected on a per window
basis. If forceon, all Open GL windows are rendered
using multisampling
Default: disable
-offset adjust the position of the specified stream.
Currently only implemented in -doublewide and
-doublehigh modes.
For -doublewide the X offset is used to position the
rightmost stream. Negative is left (overlaps with
left stream).
For -doublehigh the Y offset is used to position the
bottommost stream. Negative is up (overlaps with
upper stream)
-propt print out current option settings.
-prconf print out device hardware configuration.
-res video-mode to set on device. No default.
-res \? will show list of possible video modes.
-samples Request num. of samples to compute per display pixel.
Default: 4
-slave If multiview this device synchronizes video with a
master through the multiview ribbon cable. Both
devices should be running the same resolution and
this option should be issued when the window system.
is running. Default: disabled

NAME
SUNWkfb_config - fbconfig module for configuring the Sun
XVR-2500 Graphics Device
SYNOPSIS

false] [-defoverlay true | false] [-linearorder first |

/usr/lib/fbconfig/SUNWkfb_config [-propt] [-prconf]
/usr/lib/fbconfig/SUNWkfb_config [-help] [ -res ?]
SUNWkfb_config configures the Sun XVR-2500 Graphics
Accelerator and some of the X11 window system defaults for
the Sun XVR-2500.
The first form of SUNWkfb_config shown in the SYNOPSIS sec-
tion stores the specified options in the OWconfig file.
These options initialize the Sun XVR-2500 device the next
time the window system is run on that device. Updating
options in the OWconfig file provides persistence of these
options across window system sessions and system reboots.
The second and third forms which invoke only the -prconf,
-propt, -help, and -res ? options, do not update the OWcon-
fig file. Additionally, for the third form all other options
are ignored.
You can specify options for only one device at a time. If
you want to specify options for multiple devices, you must
invoke the SUNWkfb_config utility multiple times.
You can use the SUNWkfb_config utility to specify Sun XVR-
2500-specific options. Use the normal window system options
to specify default depth, default visual class and so forth.
Specify these as device modifiers on the command line. See
Xsun(1).
You can also specify which OWconfig file to update. By
default, SUNWkfb_config updates the machine-specific file in
the /etc/openwin. You can specify an alternate file by using
the -file option. For example, the system-global OWconfig
file in the /usr/openwin directory tree can be updated
instead.

Maintenance Commands SUNWkfb_config(1M)
Both of these standard OWconfig files can only be written by
root. Consequently, the SUNWkfb_config program, which is
owned by the root user, always runs with setuid root permis-
sion.
The following options are supported:
-accum enable | disable
Enable or disable frame buffer memory. If enabled, frame
buffer memory is allocated for the accelerated accumula-
tion buffer for windows. If disabled, software accumula-
tion buffering for windows is used. Accelerated accumu-
lation buffers for pBuffers are always available as
memory allows.
-dev device-filename
Specify the SunXVR-2500 special file. The default is
/dev/fbs/kfb0.
-defaults
Reset all option values except -dev to their default
values.
This option sets the resolution override to none which
implies the last video mode setting is preserved. If no
monitor is attached, the video mode is set to
1152x900x66.
-deflinear true | false
The Sun XVR-2500 possesses two types of visuals: linear
and nonlinear. Linear visuals are gamma corrected and
nonlinear visuals are not. There are two visuals that
have both linear and nonlinear versions: 24-bit
TrueColor and 8-bit StaticGray.
If the value of this option is true, the default visual
is set to the linear visual that satisfies other speci-
fied default visual selection options (specifically, the
Xsun defdepth and defclass options; see Xsun(1)). If
false, or if there is no linear visual that satisfies
the other default visual selection options, the non-

Maintenance Commands SUNWkfb_config(1M)
linear visual specified by these other options is chosen
as the default visual. This option cannot be used when
the -defoverlay option is present, because the Sun XVR-
2500 does not possess a linear overlay visual.
-defoverlay true | false
The Sun XVR-2500 provides an 8-bit PseudoColor visual
whose pixels are disjoint from the rest of the visuals.
This is called the overlay visual. Windows created in
this visual will not damage windows created in other
visuals. The converse, however, is not true. Windows
created in other visuals will damage overlay windows.
If the value of this option is true, the overlay visual
is the default visual. If false, the nonoverlay visual
that satisfies the other default visual selection
options, such as defdepth and defclass, is chosen as the
default visual. See Xsun(1). Whenever -defoverlay true
is used, the default depth and class chosen on the
openwin command line must be 8-bit PseudoColor. If not,
a warning message is printed and the -defoverlay option
is treated as false.
-doublehigh enable | disable
Configure the two outputs of the Sun XVR-2500 into one
vertical virtual display. The default is disable.
-doublewide enable | disable
Configure the two outputs of the Sun XVR-2500 into one
horizontal virtual display. The default is disable.
-file machine|system
Specifies which OWconfig file to update. If machine is
specified, the machine-specific OWconfig file in the
/etc/openwin directory tree is updated. If system is
specified, the global OWconfig file in the /usr/openwin
directory tree is updated. If the specified file does
not exist, it is created. This option has no effect
unless other options are specified. The default is
machine.
