fbconfig - Frame Buffer configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
fbconfig [-list | -gui | -help]
fbconfig [-dev device_filename] [-prconf] [-propt] [-res ?]
fbconfig [-dev device_filename] [-res resolution-specification] device_specific_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 device independent operations performed by fbconfig:
fbconfig [-list | -gui | -help]
The following form of fbconfig is the interface for configuring 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.
-gui
Invoke the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI is available if the SUNWdcm package is installed. All other arguments are ignored.
The GUI can configure devices (as an alternative to the fbconfig command line) and can update the Xservers file without directly edit-
ing the file. The GUI allows the user that is logged in on the graphics device or devices to configure which graphics displays the win-
dow system should use, their screen layout (where they appear on the user's desktop), and screen properties (X attributes).
In addition, the GUI allows advanced users to create a new video format (resolution) that some graphics devices can select from fbcon-
fig command line or from the device-dependent portion of the GUI. The GUI's online help explains all options and features.
-help
Print the fbconfig command usage summary. This is the default option.
-list
Print the list of installed frame buffers and associated device specific configuration routines.

fig(1M), attributes(5)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.
