The genfb
driver provides support for
generic framebuffers that have no native driver. All it needs are some
parameters to describe the framebuffer and an address.
When attaching to a pci(4) bus the driver is configured via device properties:
When attaching to sbus(4) all those parameters are retrieved from the firmware.
All those parameters are configured with Mac OS, and retrieved from the boot loader.
There is no way to change the color map even when the firmware supports it. The pci(4) bus frontend has only been tested on macppc, i386, and amd64 and requires machine dependent code to pass the properties mentioned above. So far only macppc, i386, and amd64 provides them.
