+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vidcvideo
+.Nd VIDC video device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "vidcvideo0 at vidc0"
+.Cd "wsdisplay* at vidcvideo0 console ?"
+.Pp
+.Cd "makeoptions MONITOR=""AKF85"""
+.Cd "makeoptions MODES=""1024,768,60 800,600,60"""
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the video system of the
+.Tn ARM VIDC20
+and of the video and sound macrocell of the
+.Tn ARM7500
+and
+.Tn ARM7500FE
+within the
+.Xr 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.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver chooses a screen mode to use when
+.Nx
+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
+.Tn RISC \&OS .
+If the built-in list of modes is inadequate, a different one can be substituted
+by compiling a kernel using the
+.Cd MONITOR
+option to refer to a
+.Tn RISC \&OS
+ModeInfo file, specifying the list of modes to extract from it in
+.Cd MODES .
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /usr/src/sys/arch/acorn32/conf/monitors
+.It Pa /usr/src/sys/arch/acorn32/conf/monitors
+Directory for ModeInfo files.

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr wsdisplay 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+Before
+.Nx 4.0 ,
+use of
+.Cd MONITOR
+and
+.Cd MODES
+was compulsory, as there was no built-in list of screen modes.
