🌸 NAME 🌸

sunleo — Leo video driver. that's the whole vibe, iconic 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the shape. copy it exactly, no freestyle:

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

Section "Screen"
  ...
  Device "devname"
  ...
  DefaultDepth 32
  ...
EndSection

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so leo is an Xorg driver for Sun Leo (ZX) video cards. also known as the ZX or T(urbo)ZX, Leo is literally a 24 bit accelerated 3D graphics card. both cards are double-width, but the TZX also requires extra cooling in the form of an additional double-width fan card, so it effectively takes up 4 SBus slots. yes, four. she's spacious 🫶

🎀 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🎀

the leo driver supports all Sun stations that include a Leo chipset:

Workstations:

  • Sun 4/15, 4/30, 4/75
  • SPARCstation 5, 10, 20
  • Ultra 1, 1E, 2

Servers:

  • SPARCserver 1000
  • SPARCcenter 2000

🦋 CONFIGURATION DETAILS 🦋

bestie, this is a hard requirement, not a suggestion: you must set "DefaultDepth" to "32" in the Screen Section. periodt.

Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this driver. iykyk 🌈
