.Sh NAME
.Nm creator
.Nd accelerated color frame buffer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "creator* at mainbus0"
.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.
