+.Tn HP98720
+``Renaissance'' device interface
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver is for the
+.Tn HP98720
+and 98721 graphics device, also known as
+the Renaissance. This driver has not been tested with all possible
+combinations of frame buffer boards and scan boards installed in the device.
+The driver merely checks for the existence of the device and does minimal set
+up.
+.Pp
+The Renaissance can be configured at either the ``internal'' address
+(frame buffer address 0x200000, control register space address 0x560000)
+or at an external select code less than 32.
+At the internal address it will be the ``preferred'' console device
+(see
+.Xr cons 4 ) .
+The hardware installation manual describes the procedure for
+setting these values.
+.Pp
+A user process communicates to the device initially by means of
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls. For the
+.Tn HP-UX
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls supported, refer to
+.Tn HP-UX
+manuals.
+The
+.Tn BSD
+calls supported are:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv GRFIOCGINFO
+Get Graphics Info
+.Pp
+Get info about device, setting the entries in the
+.Ar grfinfo
+structure, as defined in
+.Aq Pa hpdev/grfioctl.h .
+For the standard 98720, the number of planes should be 4. The number of
+colors would therefore be 15, excluding black. If one 98722A frame buffer
+board is installed, there will still be 4 planes, with the 4 planes on the
+colormap board becoming overlay planes. With each additional 98722 frame
+buffer board 4 planes will be added up to a maximum of 32 planes total.
+.It Dv GRFIOCON
+Graphics On
+.Pp
+Turn graphics on by enabling
+.Tn CRT
+output. The screen will come on, displaying
+whatever is in the frame buffer, using whatever colormap is in place.
+.It Dv GRFIOCOFF
+Graphics Off
+.Pp
+Turn graphics off by disabling output to the
+.Tn CRT .
+The frame buffer contents
+are not affected.
+.It Dv GRFIOCMAP
+Map Device to user space
+.Pp
+Map in control registers and framebuffer space. Once the device file is
+mapped, the frame buffer structure is accessible. The structure describing
+the 98720 is defined in
+.Pa hpdev/grf_rbreg.h .
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLE
+This is a short segment of code showing how the device is opened and mapped
+into user process address space assuming that it is grf0:
+.Bd -literal
+struct rboxfb *rbox;
+u_char *Addr, frame_buffer;
+struct grfinfo gi;
+int disp_fd;
+
+disp_fd = open("/dev/grf0",1);
+
+if (ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCGINFO, &gi) < 0) return -1;
+
+(void) ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCON, 0);
+
+Addr = (u_char *) 0;
+if (ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCMAP, &Addr) < 0) {
+ (void) ioctl (disp_fd, GRFIOCOFF, 0);
+ return -1;
+}
+rbox = (rboxfb *) Addr; /* Control Registers */
+frame_buffer = (u_char *) Addr + gi.gd_regsize; /* Frame buffer memory */
