The light
driver supports the SGI Light series of
graphics controllers, also known as Entry or Starter graphics and designated
LG1 or LG2. These controllers have a fixed 1024x768 resolution with 8-bit
colour depth. Unlike most SGI offerings, both 13w3 and VGA video cables are
supported. light
is found in Indigo and Crimson
machines.
The light
driver first appeared in
NetBSD 5.0.
Stephen M. Rumble wrote this driver.
Much is unknown about the REX chipset. Therefore, the driver relies on the PROM
to properly initialise the graphics.
This driver will not run without modification on Crimson
machines.
