an easy and consistent way of installing software ported to FreeBSD
This port provides a program that loads the microcode firmware onto Sun
Microsystems AFB Graphics Accelerators aka Sun Microsystems Elite 3D
found in many UltraSPARC systems. The microcode is necessary if you want
to run XFree86 with acceleration on these cards.
The microcode in itself has to be obtained from an existing SunOS/Solaris
installation.
===========================================================================
In order to use afbinit(8) you have to manually copy /usr/lib/afb.ucode
from a SunOS/Solaris installation over to %%DATADIR%%.
In order to automatically load the microcode during boot add the following
line to to /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local:
afbinit_enable="YES"
===========================================================================
sbin/afbinit
@exec install -d %D/%%DATADIR%%
@unexec rmdir %D/%%DATADIR%% 2> /dev/null || echo "If permanently deleting this package, %D/%%DATADIR%% and its contents must be removed manually."
