NAME
      fbconfig - Frame Buffer configuration utility
 


SYNOPSIS
      fbconfig [ -list | -help ]
 
      fbconfig [ -dev device_filename ]  [ -prconf ]  [  -propt  ]
      [ -res ]
 
      fbconfig  [  -dev  device_filename  ]   [  -res  resolution-
      specification ]  device_specifie_options
 


DESCRIPTION
      fbconfig is the generic command line interface to query  and
      configure frame buffer attributes.
 
      The following form of fbconfig is the interface for the dev-
      ice independent operations performed by fbconfig:
 
      fbconfig [ -list | -help ]
 
      The following form of fbconfig is the interface  for  confi-
      guring a frame buffer:
 
      fbconfig [ -dev device_filename ]  [ -prconf ]  [  -propt  ]
      [ -res ]
 
      If the -dev option is  omitted,  the  default  frame  buffer
      (/dev/fb or /dev/fb0) is assumed. In the absence of specific
      options, the response will depend upon the  device  specific
      configuration program and how it responds to no options
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -dev device_filename
            Specify  the  FFB  special  file.   The   default   is
            /dev/fbs/ffb0.
 
      -help  Print the fbconfig command usage summary. This is the
            default option.
 
      -list  Print the list of installed frame buffers and associ-
            ated device specific configuration routines.

      -prconf
            Print the current hardware configuration.
 
      -propt

OPERANDS
      The following operands are supported:
 
      device_specific_options
            device_specific_options are specified  in  the  format
            shown  by  the  -help  output,  or  the  corresponding
            device-specific man page.

 LIMITATIONS
      Because of limitations in the m64 kernel driver and  related
      software,  fbconfig  (with  the -prconf option) is unable to
      distinguish between a current depth  of  24  or  8+24.   The
      -propt  option  returns  the depth specified in the OWconfig
      file, which will be in effect following the next restart  of
      the  window system. The xwininfo utility, usually shipped in
      the  package  containing  frame  buffer  software  (such  as
      SUNWxwplt), reports current depth of a specified window.
