The vidcvideo driver provides support for
the video system of the ARM VIDC20 and of the video and sound macrocell of
the ARM7500 and ARM7500FE within the
wscons(4) framework. It
provides support for both a text-based console display and a memory-mapped
frame buffer usable by the X Window System.
The vidcvideo driver chooses a screen mode
to use when NetBSD starts up, and has no means of
changing it thereafter. The driver attempts to choose a screen mode from its
built-in list that most closely matches the mode being used under RISC OS.
If the built-in list of modes is inadequate, a different one can be
substituted by compiling a kernel using the MONITOR
option to refer to a RISC OS ModeInfo file, specifying the list of modes to
extract from it in MODES.
Before NetBSD 4.0, use of
MONITOR and MODES was
compulsory, as there was no built-in list of screen modes.
