.SH DESCRIPTION
.B wsfb
is an XFree86 driver for the OpenBSD wsdisplay framebuffer devices.
This is a non-accelerated driver. 
The following framebuffer depths are supported: 1, 8, 16 and 24, given
that the wsdisplay device underneath supports them.
.br
A StaticGray monochrome visual is provided for depth 1,
all visual types are supported for depth  8 and a TrueColor visual is
supported for the other depths.
Multi-head configurations are supported.
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The
.B wsfb
driver supports all hardware where a wsdisplay framebuffer driver
is available on OpenBSD.
Currently this includes OpenBSD/macppc, OpenBSD/sparc, OpenBSD/sparc64
and OpenBSD/alpha on TGA graphics cards.
.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to XF86Config(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
details.
This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
.PP
For this driver it is not required to specify modes in the 
.B Screen
section of the configuration file.
The
.B wsfb
driver picks up the currently used video mode from the framebuffer
driver and uses it.
Video modes specifications in the configuration file are ignored.
.PP
The following driver options are supported in the 
.B Device
section:
.TP
.BI "Option \*qdevice\*q \*q" string \*q
The wsdisplay framebuffer device to use.
Default: \fI/dev/ttyC0\fP.
.TP
.BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q
Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.
See shadowfb(__drivermansuffix__) for further information.
Default: on for depths were it is supported, off otherwise.
.br
ShadowFB is currently not supported on monochrome displays.
