This was a copy&paste mistake, I thought all the really old Sbus frame
buffers had been inside the listing of Ultra2-supported frame buffers,
but that's now the case, I need black tea ...
I mean. only Leo/ZX and TurboGX[plus] of above fb's are Sbus parts, the
rest is obviously UPA and should already work via sunffb20070331th.
Above question was actually planned to ask, whether or not support for
the following vintage stuff would be wanted:
*SBus*
* MG1 ECL Monochrome Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_MG1.html>
* MG2 Analog Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_MG2.html>
* CG3 Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_CG3.html>
* GX CG6 Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_GX.html>
* GXplus CG6 Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_GXplus.html>
* ZX 24-Bit Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_ZX.html>
* TurboZX 24-Bit Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_TurboZX.html>
* VideoPix
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_VideoPix.html>
* SunVideo
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_SunVideo.html>
* TurboGX CG6 Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_TurboGX.html>
* TurboGXplus CG6 Color Frame Buffer
<http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Devices/Graphics/GRAPH_TurboGXplus.html>
I then only wrapped my question into the Ultra2 - context (in order for
things to appear more demanded), and this is where the logical error
happened.
Okay, I guess you don't want the vintage drivers to be included.
