+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mgx
+.Nd SMS MGX and MGXPlus accelerated 8/24-bit color frame buffers
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "mgx* at sbus?"
+.Cd "wsdisplay* at mgx?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Tn Southland Media Systems
+.Pq now Tn "Quantum 3D"
+MGX and MGXPlus are SBus color frame buffers, with graphics acceleration
+capabilities.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver interfaces the frame buffer with the
+.Xr wscons 4
+console framework.
+It does not provide direct device driver entry points
+but makes its functions available via the internal
+.Xr wsdisplay 4
+interface.
+.Sh DISPLAY RESOLUTION
+The MGX and MGXPlus frame buffers will adapt their resolution to the monitor
+they are connected to.
+However, when not connected to a Sun monitor, the device will default to the
+.Xr cgthree 4 Ns -compatible
+1152x900 resolution, with a refresh rate of 66Hz.
+A different resolution can be forced using the set of DIP switches
+.Pq sometimes covered by metal foil
+located near the SBus connector on the board itself.
+.Pp
+The DIP switch settings are as follows:
+.Bl -column "OFF OFF OFF OFF" "Resolution" "Refresh Rate" "Details"
