💖 CHIPSFB(4) 💖

okay so this is from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it’s literally the chipsfb page. Buckle up bestie, it’s short but it ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

chipsfb — Chips & Technologies 6555x based graphics chips. That’s the whole assignment, and it understood it. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

chipsfb* at pci?
chipsfb* at ofbus?
wsdisplay* at chipsfb?

No cap, that’s the whole configuration vibe right there. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The chipsfb driver is the one that provides support for the C&T 65550 and 65554 graphics controllers. It’s giving dedicated graphics support, fr fr. 🔥

Currently it depends on the firmware (usually Open Firmware) to set up the framebuffer — yes, bestie, the firmware is doing the setup era — but all graphics operations used by wsdisplay use the blitter. So the blitter is the main character for the graphics ops. Periodt. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Go read these next, they’re part of the lore:

• wscons(4)
• wsdisplay(4)

💀 BUGS 💀

Real talk: the driver has been tested on macppc and shark only. That’s it. Those two. The driver is honest about its testing era, and honestly? Respect. 😭💀
