FFB(4)

📦 version 1.2.3, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💫 NAME 💫

ffb — the SUNFFB video driver, aka your fave little Xorg driver for the Sun Creator-family cards 💖 (this is the <italic>Kernel Interfaces Manual</italic> section of the story, btw — hi bestie, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the whole vibe starts like this, no cap — you drop this into your config and you're off:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "devname"
  Driver "sunffb"
  ...
EndSection

That's it. That's the whole incantation. Slay. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So ffb is an Xorg driver for the Sun Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D video cards ✨ — like, that's the whole job description.

And then, literally, the man page says: THIS MAN PAGE NEEDS TO BE FILLED IN.

Not me 😭 — that's genuinely what the original says, bestie. It's a whole unfilled-in situation. I'm not gonna make stuff up, because that would be lying and lying is not the vibe. 💀

💅 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 💅

The ffb driver supports... and that's where the sentence just ends, trailing off into the void 🙈 The original literally leaves it there, so I'm leaving it there too. Iconic in a mysterious way, honestly. 🦋

👑 CONFIGURATION DETAILS 👑

Please go look at xorg.conf(5) for the general configuration details — that's the main-character man page for all the everyday stuff. This section right here only covers the configuration details specific to this driver. iykyk 🧚
