# DESCRIPTION

The `light` driver supports the SGI Light series of graphics controllers, also known as Entry or Starter graphics and designated LG1 or LG2. These controllers have a fixed 1024x768 resolution with 8-bit colour depth. Unlike most SGI offerings, both 13w3 and VGA video cables are supported. `light` is found in Indigo and Crimson machines.

# HISTORY

The `light` driver first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

# AUTHORS

# BUGS

Much is unknown about the REX chipset. Therefore, the driver relies on the PROM to properly initialise the graphics.

This driver will not run without modification on Crimson machines.
