✨ NAME ✨

voodoofb — the 3Dfx Voodoo 3 / Voodoo Banshee framebuffer driver, periodt 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

okay bestie, the whole setup vibe is literally this:

voodoofb* at pci?
wsdisplay* at voodoofb?

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕: voodoofb provides support for the 3Dfx Voodoo 3 and 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee series of graphics cards, and it provides an interface for the machine independent wscons(4) driver. the way this little driver handles the card interface is giving main character energy, ngl ✨

some iconic details, no cap:

• Currently voodoofb depends on the firmware to do low level initialization of the card (e.g. program video RAM controller). highkey important, bestie 🎀
• However, it is capable of changing the resolution and uses DDC2 to pick an appropriate video mode. slay 🦋
• A 2D graphics engine is used to accelerate all drawing operations. literally all the drawing ops, iconic 🔥
• Direct access to video memory is not required by voodoofb. no cap, that's the vibe 💜
