👑 CFXGA(4) 👑

okay so bestie, this is cfxga(4), straight out of the Kernel Interfaces Manual — and it’s literally the driver page for the Colorgraphic VoyagerVGA video card. periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

cfxga — Colorgraphic VoyagerVGA video card driver

The way this is the driver for the Colorgraphic VoyagerVGA video card and nothing else, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cfxga* at pcmcia?
wsdisplay* at cfxga?

That’s the whole setup vibe: cfxga* hangs off pcmcia?, and wsdisplay* hangs off cfxga?. slay. 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The Colorgraphic VoyagerVGA card is a CompactFlash removable video card — yes, removable, yes, CompactFlash, we love a flexible icon. 💖

The cfxga driver lets you use that card under OpenBSD within the wscons(4) console framework. So it’s giving “your little CompactFlash video card gets to be part of the console setup,” and we’re obsessed. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

bestie, this is the dramatic part: the cfxga driver forces the card into a 16bpp, 640x480, 72Hz mode on the VGA output connector. no negotiation, no vibe check, just Those Settings. 😭

And it is not possible yet to select a different video mode, or to use the S-Video output. so that’s the official limitation, fr fr — different video mode? not yet. S-Video output? also not yet. 💀

Debian · May 31, 2007 · CFXGA(4) — okay that’s the source/version-and-date sign-off, bestie: this page says Debian, dated May 31, 2007, and it’s manual entry CFXGA(4). go off, little historical manpage. 🎀✨
