+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm creator
+.Nd accelerated color frame buffer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "creator* at mainbus?"
+.Cd "wsdisplay* at creator?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+is a memory based color frame buffer driver for the
+.Xr wscons 4
+console framework and for the Creator and Creator 3D
+UPA framebuffers.
+It does not provide direct device driver entry points
+but makes its functions available via the internal
+.Xr wsdisplay 4
+interface.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr sbus 4 ,
+.Xr wscons 4 ,
+.Xr wsdisplay 4
+.Sh BUGS
+This driver only supports console (text mode) access; there is currently
+no support for the X Windows System.
+Console operations are unaccelerated and quite slow.
